Noel - I liked your post on the custody issue and I remember being bothered about it many years ago but deciding that I didn't have the time or clout to make a difference. That's still my position but if you're going to campaign on it I'd be interested to hear what the FCA official response is and any other professional sector comment.
No disrespect to this board but the daily post count is way below many others - have you tried the bank share sites?
It was a long time ago but I remember thinking that there should have been personal liabilities on directors with independent bonds to back them should any financial abuse occur!
Unfortunately investor protection is flawed in many ways but I admire those that research properly and then put a good case for change and good campaigns can succeed eventually.
Talking of scams I had the washing machine insurance scam yesterday over the phone - guy phoned to say my machine was just out of warranty and he'd be happy to insure it - I said really which machine, claiming I had 2, he quickly responded - most recent - I said what make was it - he said his screen didn't tell him that - I said who told you it was just out of warranty- he replied he'd only worked there a short time and didn't know - I got bored and suggested this was a scam - he put the phone down - so rude these people! ( BTW I DIY on carbon brush changes now! )
