Just noticed this on Natwest stockbrokers site:-

"Due to technical changes at the London Stock Exchange this weekend we have found that there are issues affecting the execution of UK Stop Loss Orders. While we work to resolve this issue with the London Stock Exchange please do not submit any new UK Stop Loss Order instructions. If you currently have a UK Stop Loss order in place, please cancel it and manually place a sell order online or over the telephone at the desired price. We apologise for any inconvenience."

It would have been nice to have had an email from them!
