I honestly don't know the details of investing in the UK, but to address Mang's question I think that the EU as a whole has been following the same financial principles of the U.S. but at least they have the luxury of being a bit "behind the curve" so if the people in charge of your monetary policy are smart, they make quick changes when our economy started tanking, but I doubt they did and I would guess you guys will be in the same shape we are with bailouts and rising unemployment in several months. I am not of the mindset of the U.S. is the end all and be all of the world, at all, but to be truthful our own economy is complicated enough so I have not devoted any time to reading up on what is happening in your part of the world. Sound financial advise that will work anywhere though, including for you, would be to not buy shit you can't afford, live within your means and save money for a rainy day.
