So much for 4X4's on ice - I drive a landrover Freelander jeep and I was always quite confident I was safe enough when it came to driving in icy conditions until this morning that is! I did a complete u-turn on the road where there must have been black ice - so much for traction control! (P.S...

Hi Farmerette, What do you mean by the downside of buying into CHF - do you mean the FX costs?

Thanks BostonBoy for your information. I havn't yet gone ahead and opened an account with them - the only reason being I am still undecided about sterling or US$ or Swiss francs for that matter!! Their rates are competitive enough however.

Hi UFC, Did you ask them when opening your account if the german state guarantees non-residential accounts and to what value? (I guess it may not have been applicable to you since you are planning on moving over there anyway)

I would also like to know - also when I spoke to Frankfurt last week I was told the minimum was €100,000! Very confusing!!

Has anyone opened an account with Nationwide International in Isle of Man and if so what is your experience or opinion on them? I understand that they are a subsidary of Nationwide UK Ireland with whom I already have an account with and so far I am very pleased with them. Is Nat Int.(IOM)...

Hi JohnH I rang Deutche bank in Frankfurt this morning and I was told that you need a minimum of €100,000.00 to open an account with them. Could you confirm if this is true? I would travel to Germany gladly if I thought I could open an account with one of the banks there with about half the...

I would be thinking along the same lines as this in regards to the euro. I feel Germany would be a safer place for one's saving as well if its possible to open a non resident account there so if anyone has some info on this or has successfully opened a non resident account with a german bank...

I am sure this idea has crossed many people's mind but what happens, at some point in the future when the dust settles and we have some clarification on these matters, what then do we do with our chunks of sterling/dollars etc? There will be some raised eyebrows if you walk in to any bank with a...

Thanks Demoivre - I will try that now.

Hi ajapale, I installed MSE last night also and so far so good but it does recommend that you uninstall any other antivirus programs on your system so I will have another go. Is there any downsides with MSE?? I really had no problems with AVG for the past 2 or 3 years.

I need to uninstall AVG free anti-virus on my laptop but I keep getting the following error message: - Severity: Error Error code: 0xE001D02B Error message: AVG product not installed, uninstallation request ignored How can this be when it comes up on the program list on the control panel? I...

I need to get the filters in my water filtration under sink system replaced. I have done some research and found that I could get universal filters for almost half the price as the branded ones. Is there any reason why these wouldn't do the same job as the branded ones? Has anyone used the...

Thanks Ringledman. I will check these out.

Hi Does anybody know where I could find a list of historic dividends per share payout for companies listed on the FTSE?

Its funny you should say that as they also gave me the same excuse this morning when I discovered that there was over €6000 disappeared from my trading account! They had it corrected by lunchtime but it doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence. I think I will download that application for TD...

Has anyone recently opened an account with TD Waterhouse and actually traded on their online trading platform. Would love some feedback on your experiences as I am contemplating going with them. I am currently with Sharewatch - I had hoped things would improve with their new website but I still...

Just wondering does anybody know how long usually does the revenue take to issue a refund of overpaid CGT. I have done the above and sent in the relevant paperwork about 5 weeks ago - Am I being a bit impatient?!!:)

Thanks for that Smashbox. I will try that.
