    Hi everyone, I'm in northern Scotland :)

    The only bank charges I've had were from before 6 years ago so no claims for me.

    Hi to all fellow Scots, & everyone else on this thread.

    I haven't got started on my charges yet... but did I not read we can go much further back in Scotland but the amount we can claim if lower, meaning we need more claims? (depending on charges, of course)

    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    To answer my own question about the markets in Edinburgh - Yes I have been and nothing special.

    If you want to wander round drinking hot mulled wine, eating sausages then absolutely fine but apart from that I was pretty disappointed. No screaming bargains to be had, and it was unplesantly busy. Saturday afternoon mind you.
    Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Went to the christmas markets last year. All I managed to get was a pair of earrings...........for myself! So much for the hope I'd get a few presents there.

    If anyone is totally skint and is looking for a present for a whisky lover then get them a hipflask from Poundland! Yep they have lovely stainless steel 5oz hipflasks that come in a clear perspex box. Looks a lot more than a quid!
