    Was it a stirling account? Or maybe a Euro account?

    (or is HSBC now offering Lira accounts in anticipation......).

    That might explain different rates.

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    never mind whether it's true. somebody should tell the daily mail.

    Oh look, another gratuitous snipe at the Daily Mail. How original, how imaginative, how droll ..........

    no, it's not original ... and nor is the stream of lies, hatred and voyeurism which they continue to print ...

    as long as they print it, and it continues to warp ppl's minds, it needs to be mocked.

    i should say that i didn't intend to mock OP. the question had already been answered, and the daily mail bit was just a digression.

    I think it's a rubbish paper too for the most part, but I do love the way that it gets up you lefties' noses to the point of obsession.
