Probably is, I guess the big FCA concern is frankly - us - how to protect our interests and that things are managed well. I would argue in RS defense they still have released millions, no one has lost a penny and as much as we harp on about everything money is released and we can by adjusting rates still play the system. I think their investor team must be under intense pressure with limited answers too. Not sure what more there is to say without purely speculating.

Can I make a humble (maybe unpopular) request that we don't have a new thread every time there is a development, when there are already ample threads that the post could go under?
This is one reason that newbies to the forum (and others!) find it hard to navigate and find an answer to their questions before posting, which is frustrating for everyone involved.
Thanking you in advance.

Thanking you in advance. I nearly said what you did but held back - agree totally no new threads.

I take the point, but I wouldn't want to discourage thread creation. In general I'd rather see multiple well titled threads than a single mega-thread. The mega-threads make it difficult to find the nugget one is looking for as their purpose tends to morph over time. Err..... much like we've just done here....  sorry. |

Is it likely to be moving further away? Unless it fails for some reason.

Agreed - single mega-threads can be bad too. But, this way, we end up talking about pretty much exactly the same thing in several different threads. coogaruk alone has now set up three different threads on the Metro Bank acquisition... (to go with the others set up by other users too!)

(to go with the others set up by other users too!) I wasn't going to bother to comment here, just read, but find it very difficult to keep up sometimes and I thought there are perfectly good Mods, well they are as far I'm concerned, who occasionally chip in and move stuff around if it gets out of hand. Mind you if i can figure out how to work the search engine and get a valuable result it might help (Please don't attempt to show me a better way on that here  ). I'm sorry but I would have missed this important item if it was buried in yet another "War and Peace" type thread such as the ones that seemed to have developed on this platform lately.

Thanking you in advance. Perhaps 'newbies' would prefer debating the minutiae of Ratesettter's T&Cs ad infinitum. I don't know. Personally it bores me to tears.
Please consider creating a new thread on the subject to enable the rest of us to avoid having to constantly wade through it all to find something more interesting.
Thanking you in advance.

maybe we should have a poll on whether to start a new thread? p.s just realised that would be a new thread so maybe we need a poll on whether to have a poll |

So disappointing, once again, to see users on here respond to a polite and well-intentioned point in this way. There's really no need for it.
On a side note, I find it quite amazing that anyone would consider RS's T&C anything other than immensely important right now. But I suppose that kind of lack of interest is exactly why so many people on here have got themselves into the position they have...
Anyway, enjoy your thread.

Thanks for hi-jacking it (along with other threads) just to promote your own self-interest / obsession. You're welcome.
What position is that then?
I reiterate, I've lost count of the number of threads created to discuss RYIs (was six at the last count I think). It's like watching paint dry. And almost as irrelevant leading up to Metro Bank's acquisition and beyond.
(Back on topic)

Oh for goodness sake! I'm not hijacking anything - you brought up T&C, not me! You could've just disagreed politely, but you didn't. Besides, discussing RYIs and letting forum users know about conversations with RS is in all our interests. It's ridiculous to suggest I gain something from this 'promotion'?! And yes, I agree there are too many threads discussing RYIs - note that I did not start any of these threads. My attitude in this regard is consistent across this forum, and I've made the point many times - it's not some attack personal to just you, so please stop taking it as such and be more civil. I didn't tell you that discussing Metro Bank was boring or that you shouldn't do it - I just made a polite request that maybe we didn't need yet another new thread. Goodness me. Edit: I've just noticed, coogaruk , that you haven't even bothered to let us know any of your RYI queue information - you're not listed in these threads. I mean, talk about being self-interested and not helping others on here... Are you just not even actually in the queue, or are you so far back that all of this RYI talk is pointless to you, even while it's relevant for others? Maybe that's why discussion of RYIs infuriates you quite so much... Now I am hijacking - so this will be my last post here.
