  • Off to hit the sack as well. Still no email, and my twice-daily ceremony of trying to initiate after logging on to Icesave yielded the usual result: nothing. At all.
    Have a good night everyone, and may we wake to that second email sitting in all our inboxes.
  • Unless they are sending them out after 10pm, I can dispel any myths that they are sending out a second email as a rather nice birthday surprise! :rolleyes:

    :p
  • Nite all. If not tomorrow, this week please! :o

    Sorry enzosparklefoot, I have contacted the Spelling Police who are arresting you on suspicion of miss-spelling the word "definitely". They may take being under the influence of a weird username into account...

    (By the way, I reckon this may be THE most mis-spelled word in English; do a Google for definitely and definately and the results aren't widely different!)

    Oh well, that must be it then….. Missed the ‘r’ off "Icesave’r’"; can’t post pictures, and can’t spell …. No wonder I haven’t got the second email.

    However, I deny ‘enzosparklefoot’ is a weird username, it’s just extra inimitable you know.
    :grin:

    Aww, gee, thanks, I'm touched. The cheque is in the post.

    Oh, hold on a minute, it can't be ...

    ... I don't have any money yet! Sorry ;)

  • Ok guys, as promised:

    I know I have been scathing in my criticism of the FSCS and don't read this as a change of heart. I just thought that maybe our expectations have been incorrect.
    So I am going to give the FSCS the benefit of the doubt and apply some arithmetic to the subject (which of course I invite anyone to check and agree or disagree with - as if you needed to be told lol)
    Total number of Icesave account holders I believe was 230,000.

    Let's suppose that 10% for one reason or another cannot be paid electronically. That leaves 207,000.
    FSCS reported on 21st November over 100,000 sent.
    So approx. that's another 107,000 over the remaining 9 days.
    At the end of Sunday 23rd, remainder should be 83,222 which over the remaining 7 days is 11,888 per day.
    If in this forum, we have about 40 no-email active contributors plus another 40 no-email shall we say 'lurking' in the shadows, then we have 80 in total.
    So we have c12,000 emails per day to send out but only 80 waiting on this forum which explains why we don't see much action.
    We are probably a much smaller sample of the total than we believe we are.
    To reiterate, even if the FSCS is meeting its target, there are still over 83,000 emails to send.(please let one of them be mine)

    From now, on this forum, we could expect about 11 per day reported here based on population of 80 (or 5 based on 40) and IF everybody reports AND IF the FSCS are being honest. Which also leads me to the unsettling conclusion that in previous days, we should have seen even more.
    Not sure what to think now.
  • You would have thought whoever came up with the order would have arranged for second emails to go out on birthdays.

    Have these people got no soul :mad:

    Right I'm off to get some kip. Good luck for tomorrow.
