    I was mis-sold one of those pieces of carp too, luckily I've put no money into it for years. Now they belong to the ex. I'm happy that she now has my share of zip!

    Maybe... or maybe not...
    Thx Franco, a nice gloss

    I'll pretend its true.

    What qualifies you for this position exactly?

    Everything you say is negative. If I'd listened to Jonahs like you I'd never have invested in anything.

    ...ah yes and then you receive a letter, which says "sorry mate, I know we promised you X but due to wide boy City traders plundering our accounts unfortunatley we can now only promise you X - a huge sum of money.

    Yup got one of them a while back.

    Best thing is the final sentence, where they suggest you might put even more in.

    Good hope the damage isn't too severe.
