...and a healthy dose of common sense...
Whilst Northern Rock was taking a nose dive last year* I looked at Kaupthing and Icesave to move my money, particularly since the Sunday Times had them at No. 1 for rates for months.
Looking at the fact that they were a 1/2% higher than anyone else (hooking the greedy) and the fact that both websites looked like a wedoitcheap.com comedy act, I decided that they were a bunch of barrow-boys out to fleece the greedy and unwary. Didn't use either in the end....
Needless to say don't have a huge amount of sympathy for those who took a risky gamble and lost....
*I didn't have money in NR before they were nationalised for the same reason as above (i do now, however...)
