Re: Oz Forex - Losing the Faith

It is constant irrespective of the amount with HSBC Premier (even 1 gbp). That is why I wondered if it was also constant with HSBC GetRate.

Internet Radios

Does anyone have any recommendation for such a radio and where to buy?
I've tried Myer and Dick Smith etc. and they say they used to stock them but not any more!
