I've got a new regular saver with A&L linked to a direct premier current account.

So, where's my money sitting for these four (or more?) days? I know the interest rate of the regular saver is quite good, but 4 days (or more?) to transfer money internally between accounts operated by the same institution does seem extraordinary.
What did A&L advise?

I haven't spoken to them yet, but hey, I thought that this being a newsgroup where people 'discuss' things, that maybe somebody else has had the same experience and that it wasn't unusual that this happena qirh A&L. As you will see, I posted my original post at 8.17am this morning, when I was in my pants eating a slice of toast and marmalade and drinking my tea, before rushing out the door for work, after putting on something more than just my pants, in the anticipation of somebody dropping a reply before I come home. Unfortunately, fair do's to those who have replied, but, nobody has yet responded and said 'oh, that always happens with A&L', so now I'll spend my evening ringing them to understand what is going on.

Thanks for your help.

I suggest you read Diana Wright's column in the Sunday Times money section. A&L are one of the institutions most complained about. And in many cases it's down to sheer incompetence.
