Difference of 1p between available and balance - why?

It's more than likely just a hold on your account to make sure you have funds available if you've recently entered your card somewhere.
I know this freaked me out when I first started banking and entered my card details into iTunes, they held £1.58. I didn't think I'd entered them right either, so I was constantly putting them in again. Before I knew it, iTunes were holding about £10 for a week before it went back in

There's always been a difference of £2 on my Nationwide credit card between my balance and available balance but I've never mustered the effort to figure out why.

Not to mention the payroll guy in one of the Superman films who diverted the fractions of a cent (from round-downs) to his own account!
