Conister Bank Isle of Man

Desperately looking for interest in savings and have been perusing the Conister Bank, IoM site, an off-shore bank. Is anybody using them? Would appreciate comments on them. Appreciate they don't provide the UK's customer account guarantee but it looks very similar. Thanks.

Re: Overhaul of dog ownership laws underway

It's uncontrolled, repeat uncontrolled barking that's the issue for most people. It's so bad in some areas that many private villas and hotel owners have lost repeat summer lettings because of it. Some have health issues through not getting a good night's sleep. I always advise prospective buyers to...

Re: Wills in Cyprus.

The vital issue for us ex-pats is to ensure your will clearly states that probate is done under either English & Welsh/Scots\Irish law or if you prefer local Cypriot law. There is a vast difference. A good lawyer will explain the differences. Ours is under English law.

Your penance is to chant three times a day for a week, "Spurs will win the FA CUP." How cruel is that?

Re: Paying Tax Online

DeutscheBanks decision to cut 18,000 jobs, mainly in the city of London

Is Deutsche Bank's decision to cut 18,000 jobs, mainly in the city of London, entirely unrelated to Brexit as is being claimed? I am giving a link to a German newspaper so no one can say it is UK linked. https://finanzbusiness.de/nachrichten/banken/article13002929.ece#%3A~%3Atext%3DDer%20Umbau%20der...

Not Renewing Cyprus Driving Licence

Having reached the grand old age of nearly 80 I am giving up driving when my current Cypriot driver's licence expires in March. My question is, do you have to inform the relevant authorities that you are doing so, as a driving licence is an official govt. document? I believe in the UK you can be fin...

Any body know why there aren't any foreign newspapers for the second day? Not at the Kiosks or Phillipos large or small supermarkets.
