I bought my Macbook Air in Finland and was told that the warranty was worldwide? Best to check with Apple but seems you get a different answer different places ....
Rented numerous places in the past and I never got a deposit back! Walk around with the landlord/agent and photos of everything as you move in and a walk around and photos again as you move out a must. Fortunately have our own place now so no more problems with that!
From the comments here it seems the UK transfers take longer - don 't know why? I'm transferring from Sweden/Finland and up until a month ago had taken seconds only.
I think you misunderstood my post. My point is that for over a year up until a month ago every transfer I made was completed in seconds. Then suddenly a month ago it changed and was taking anything from 7 hours to 1 working day. Yes, reasonable exchange rates and still relatively fast of course, but I was curious as to why this suddenly changed and if anyone else had a similar experience. Also, if I pay a premium for a faster service and it doesn't happen you think I shouldn't complain?
Yes, of course I understand that during holiday periods and weekends transfers take longer - which is why I always avoid those. That was not the point of my post.

Actually, I don't have any problem with the rates. I think they are reasonable and when the amount is not so large the difference of what you receive is negligible.
Yes does seem very inconsistent amongst all the experiences shared here. I understand if the transfer is arranged on either a Saturday or Sunday that it would be received on the next working day which is why I always avoid weekends.
