Hope it's not too late to miss the what could be a possible low for banks. I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows of an account I can set up a little more quickly ? HELP
That's pretty standard in my experience. It's all down to the money laundering laws. When I set an account up with 'a sharedealing company with a silly sounding name' I ended up with about 10 pages of passwords, pin numbers and what-not. Some by post, some on the web and some by email
I hope you have more luck than I did with your first adventure. I bought Northern Rock shares last year at £2.21, watched them go to £2.73 but got cocky and didn't sell. Oops.
Edit: I wonder if the humourless Brown has ever said in a cabinet meeting "How do I look, Darling?"
