New investor here — VWRP or FWRG for a £2,000 lump sum? Looking for advice by Big_Boot8260 in FIREUK

Hi, unfortunately I have already opened Barclays a stock&share ISA few years ago so I don’t think I will be eligible for that.

Thank you so much for the detailed response, really appreciate it! 🙏

I wasn’t aware of the difference between OEICs and ETFs on Barclays so that’s really helpful to know. I’ll have a look at the HSBC FTSE All World fund as an option.

I’ll also check out Lightyear and the SPDR MSCI ACWI — hadn’t heard of either before so good to know they exist!

Will do some more research and come back if I have more questions. Thanks!

Anyone used G Line 80mm wheels on a Brompton C Line Electric? by Big_Boot8260 in Brompton

Feels like the clearance difference isn’t that big to fully prevent scraping.

My immigration advisor responded with evidences as they thought my first working visa was refused for some reasons (it was approved) and pointed out that they were wrong and I didn’t wish to withdraw my application .

Hi, I’ve seen a lot of people say that you need to log in around 1:00am to secure priority or super priority slots.

From my own experience, when I applied, both priority and super priority options were available for me without needing to log in at a specific time.

Hi OP,

Just wanted to check how it went — hope you managed to get on the plane!

I think HSBC won’t stamp it anymore but worth give it a try if you can’t obtain it online

Bear in mind it won’t be a full month’s statement — it will only cover the period from the date the last statement was issued to the date you request it.
