It looks like the ESURE applications have been scaled back - unfortunately to an amount that is hardly worth the bother. (40% @£2.90).

Well done Skinny - I take it you've got some. I sold my CFD's a while ago at 196p when I got fed up with day-trading and packed that in.

Only on a S/B so reasonably small (now closed) - Unfortunately I sold my shares some time ago.
