If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214…

Bugger so thats where I'm going wrong.
I PAY my local council to take my cans to the recycling plant...and Lord knows what I've lost with Lehmans, might not have broadband next week, may have to sell the pc to buy cat food....
