Luckily for me, I have a Nationwide account so can withdraw small amounts without paying disproportionate charges and it's always more or less spot rates with them. But, you WILL keep an eye on the thread won't you and give us your views now and again?  I feel I need all the advice and help I can get. BTW, have delayed taking out my private pensions (such as they are) and will only take out the state pension as the markets are in such dire straits.

Talk about blanking out, have you read about me "flipping" a shack for this chateau and claiming it as my "second home"? Look, if you want that camper van of yours to be counted as your principal home for purposes of TH or TF or indeed for des impôts, just let me know and I'll explain to you precisely how it's done.. It's a matter of saying what's in your own best interest; doesn't need to be credible..........those stupid taxpayers can just carry on supporting our wonderful lifestyles.  It's not going to be good for much longer, Wools, so we need to make the most of it, n'est ce pas?
