Yeah, sorry I didn't write back on my saga with the bank. We are so busy at work 
I hardly have time to breathe! <smile> Basically what happens now is that a new 
law took effect and 1 has to prove residence and submit a long-time account from 
a retailer that you regularly pay to open and maintain a bank account. I was 1 
of the unlucky ones whose papers went astray somewhere and my account was 
frozen. Things seem sorted out now, but I had to submit my documents 3 times in 
the last 2 months! Enough to make 1 angry and worried. Thanks for everyone's 
support
