    Psychotic seems a more likely explanation ;)

    Maybe he should have made it a visible poll this time ;)

    I haven't seen anyone report they've received an email today so far :huh:

    Off to church now " Desperate times, desperate measures "

    And before anyone has a go, I will pray for all those in true need, I'll just tag my small request on the end. ;)

    According to the Sunday mail only 10000 of the 200,000 emails had been sent out by end of Friday so only 10% of account holders had received them until then. This was of course one of the papers that put in the huge icesave page ads advising us to invest our money with this bank. I don't know how accurate the Sunday mails figures of 10% are but I reckon more then 10% of account holders have received them.

    Perhaps maths has changed since my day but I make that 5% - 20,000 would be 10%... ;)

    I thought they were supposed to be sending 10,000 emails a day? Therefore they should have sent out at least 50,000 by now, and possibly more as some have definitely been received over both weekends.
