Still waiting for my compensation for the Great Deluge of 20th July....and its now 17th Oct....I hope they've invested the amount, and are building up a nice investment bounty to hand over to me.  Cry

And I was one of the lucky people to be sat on a train, and be handed an A4 letter telling me about this compensation thing.

Has everyone else been sorted?....maybe they're working their way through, alphabetically....
