    Spot on. This is the first time I can see that bloke has made a good call -- although I can see us paying for it in taxes anyway.

    As soon as I see that cash back i'm investing in gold straight away, a lot safer.

    I'm now worried about my money because most of it is in limbo. I transferred out of Icesave but it hasn't, and isn't going to, reach by linked account. I doubt it will even bounce back into Icesave. I think the Icelandic government have intercepted it. I've got prints to prove the money was there and I made the transfers out. Is this going to be enough? :eek:
  • If this comes off, it's nearly enough for them to get my vote:j
  • Does anyone know if we will be getting the interest owed on our deposits as well...or is that just wishful thinking?

  • Is this 100% cover just the Icelandic part they were supposed to pay the £16k, or would it cover my whole savings so say if I had £125k would I get it all back ?

    How much are you going to personally pay out for this. Perhaps we could have a whip round to reimburse you!!

    It's wonderful how quickly ones attitudes change - yesterday, I was worried about my £29k in Icesave but today I'm really p--d off about my loss of interest...........

    I guess that'll be the rate chasers who deposited in a bank which had a compensation scheme accepted and approved by the British Financial Services Authority?
