Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I don’t have one!

    Is Transfer Wise legit? Better rate than bank?

    Transferwise is totally fine I bought a 45k sterling car using them last year.... if its for a large sum you will have to go into your local bank with passport etc.... bank tried to talk me out of it and use them instead costing 2k euro more.... not a chance.

    Transfer was complete within two hours into the UK account... but they say it could take longer.

    I used my debit card and the savings on revolut would have been negligible. That was on a sub £10k car though.
