Richard,

As soon as I know, you will. Having learned form the .biz experience,
the last thing we want to do is to suggest a start date and then keep
having to change it. It is becoming clearer by the day and at the moment
we are saying 'some time in the first half of this year'.

Cheers,

Good point Chris.  

It would be good to know when that 'go live' date may be. 
It seems to be a moving target. ING may be clever but not 
very wise. But in the interim, they are still doing damage 
to this industry - and are getting away with it. Worse, 
this Sasha person seems to be proud of their approach. 

I know that the road ahead may be long and winding, and 
with the odd bump and pot-hole, but it would be good to 
know how much longer we have to put up with the cockroaches 
that live in the gutter.   

Regards
Richard Keeves
