    You are only meant to make one application. I heard that it is a fraud if you made two applications.

    Probably unsuccessful mate, unless you invested next to nothing or are connected with a multi-million pound city investment fund..which I doubt because if you were, you would not be posting here.

    Only the rich get to make money in the UK. the rest of us make enough to pay the bills and have a car if we lucky..

    Good to see Cameron's looking after his friends in the city and the big institutions, isn't it?

    And let's not forget the energy companies. ;)

    My broker will allow us to trade tomorrow. Then again we are seasoned investors not like a lot of you newbies.

    "More than 270,000 applicants, (37% of applicants) will receive at least half of the shares they have applied for" is a bit confusing but just implies 37% applied for 1.5k or less

    There we go I am one of the 37%. (Although not strictly true as I will be getting a 50.06% refund)
    IANAL etc.

    Ha ha well, funnily enough i did invest next to nothing having literally just bought my own house.

    In fairness it should never have been privatised, just another example of the older generation ruining for the younger. I wonder how long it is until the (majority of the) younger generation realise what the 'oldies' are doing to society and start to properly stand up.
