    £3,000 has left my share dealing account in the last couple of hours. I bid for 3k and its now looking like the requested allocation might follow *fingers crossed* :beer:

    Wouldn`t these people take all your money out of the account irrespective of how much they actually needed and then refund the difference at a later date?

    BBC just reported 330p a share, right at the top of the range.

    Mines the same but it must be just the value you`ve asked for.
    It will be adjusted as soon as the official price is known (330p according to the BBC tonight) and the amount that`s allocated.

    You should know at 7am Friday and can trade at 8am.

    I wonder how much money they will have made just from banking everyones application money and having it on deposit until they issue balance refunds.

    I applied for £2000 worth of shares and this was withdrawn from my account yesterday. Does this mean I have been successful?

    There is a precedent, from the privatisations of BT and British Energy, for those wanting large numbers of shares to receive none.

    But investors who applied for the minimum on offer, £750, will probably have their orders met in full.

    I've forgotten that happening. Cable wants shares put with funds not speculators + gov can sell extra 8% this year so I guess that helps them
