    I think Vince Cable is the guy in charge of the allocation, he said on Ch4 news he wasn't interested in "Spivs" & "Speculators" but long term investors.

    yes of course, the Singapore fund is not going to sell their shares asap to turn a profit next week... they will keep their shares for 1000 years..

    common, all he has done is make sure the city and foreign big investors make money. If he had half a brain between his hairy grey ears he would realise the money is better off within the uk population who will spend dividends within the UK, rather than a Singapore investment fund.

    What a piece of !!!! Vince Cable is. Serves every lib dem supporter right. The only parties worth voting for are those on the extremes.

    Funny Vince, you dont seem to mind the spivs and speculators in the city and Singapore.. But the ones who populated the middle classes and tried to buy this week are worth nothing to you..

    Tried doing that, they were not much help. They said to ring equiniti after an email arrives which should be tomorrow, a little bit worried I will lose my money.

    Set up mail redirection at the post office? It will cost you £39.99 for 6 months but in a way you'll now be paying yourself

    (Not really, obviously)

    Has anybody had shares credited to their x-o account yet?

    Thanks

    I won't even bother looking until tomorrow. They will turn up eventually but x-o are a budget outfit so I'm not holding my breath that they'll be there first thing although in an ideal world they should be.

    The Royal Mail Nominee Share Service:

    Looks like its going to cost £17.50 to sell ...it's possible for £7.50 but that comes with dodgy conditions.

    See page 37-38 of Prospectus.

    If you've applied on the behalf of several family members maybe worth amalgamating into one account to limit trading charges/ make life simpler. Seems to be possible with Corporate Nominee Accounts on Equiniti.
