    I was wondering if it was time to divulge our first names. Presumably Susie is Susie, Olivia we know, st I always thought was stu for some reason, I know Harrowings but I don't think anyone else picked it up, but will not divulge unless agreed and in true Ami style I've done a puzzle for mine.

    My first is in prankster but not in plonker
    My second is in donger but not in long

    Sue to you 3...............xxx:rotfl::rotfl:

    p.s. ST is STeve...................

    :T LOL, the mole fits you - healthy interest in you-know-what!

    Good name but surprisingly I can't think of many famous people with it, no doubt you'll reel them out now!

    Now you got us :confused: - what you wanna be called Mr A ?
  • I've just been checking the tables on fsa.gov.uk/tables and the rates are beyond belief.

    How reliable are :-
    Yorkshire Building Society (internet saver 3.69%);
    Stroud+Swindon B.S. (bonus guarantee account 3.69%);
    Scarborough B.S. (balance builder 3.8%);
    Market Harborough B.S. (onthedot easy access 3.95%);

    and how do we currently feel about icici (HiSave 4.41%) and ING (savings account 4.89%) ??

    Sorry, being serious again oops!

    Funny Harrowing both 6 letter Christian names, both beginning in A, another 3 letters the same, it's fate our paths had to cross.

    UNRELIABLE...banks often don't update until a few days after BOE change...and then websites sometimes slow to update their change!
