Did you really mean to put loose?
Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    Knew it was being sold, but didn't know when and to who! Least it's done now.
  • And the credit card business was sold to Barclays.

    Doh! :doh:If past experience is anything to go by, existing Egg customers like myself can look forward to online access disruption as the two organisations attempt to merge their computer systems. :(

    It also means fewer choices as to where to put your savings if you want FSC protection.
