        Blimey! Well that blows the £12 anticipated figure out of the water.
        "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

          I think there is another article that needs to be read
          http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle4023674.ece

          Please can someone call Barclays and ask them about this account which slashes guaranteed transactions overlimit to £8.
          There is a cost for it as well and basic account customers lose any interest on their accounts.

            Please read this article and if you bank with Barclays please give em a ring and see if you can find out 2 things;
            1) is the account "free" from the point of useage?
            2) have they got a leaflet that they could send to you(so we could all have a peruse of it)?

              Re: Dramatic About Turn As Barclays Cuts Overdraft Charges

              Well I don't understand this bit tbh
              " Barclays will launch two new fee-charging accounts today and seek to attract new customers by replacing its various charges for unauthorised overdrafts with a flat fee of £8 for every transaction"
              It's the "Every Transaction" that I don't understand, does that mean if you go O/D they will take £8 for everything that has happened on your account in the month you went O/D?

                  I think it is saying for a max of 5 items unless I have read it wrong enaid. Will need to look into this some more before I draw my own conclusion on this.

                  Customers who go beyond their personal reserve - or those, like students, who are not offered such a buffer - will have to pay £8 for each unauthorised transaction, up to a limit of five per day. This compares with the £35 plus 27.5 per cent interest Barclays charges at present.

                          I can see a game of cat and mouse emerging. No sooner is there a legal judgment on the charges that have already changed to service fees since the test case announcement, they change them again to a ''Usage Fee'' which may well prompt another test case. This'll never end.

                              Dramatic U-Turn As Bank Cuts Charges

                              Barclays is to "significantly reduce" its overdraft fees in a move that appears to undermine industry claims over the true cost of bounced payments.

                              From August 18 its customers will have to pay only £8 for a returned or guaranteed transaction.
                              Present charges that can be as high as £35, which the banks have always maintained are fair.
                              Barclays will also replace unauthorised overdrafts with a "Personal Reserve" which users can access for a charge of £22.
                              Customers without this will see payments over an agreed limit bounced, but will still only have to pay the lower £8 charge.

                              Barclays says it has been able to reduce its charges as a result of breakthroughs in its handling systems, with a far greater automated service.
                              But the move is likely to be seized on by campaigners who say fees of up to £35 are exorbitant.
                              They claim they do not represent the actual cost to banks - which they believe could be as little as £2.50.

                              In April, the Office of Fair Trading won a High Court ruling over the issue, when a judge said fees were subject to "unfair contract" rules.
                              It paved the way for a further hearing to decide whether charges are unfair and, if so, what a fair charge should be.
                              Banks have since lodged an appeal over the High Court verdict.
                              The UK's other High Street banks are expected to follow Barclays and announce similar cuts in their overdraft fees.
                              But it is not all good news for Barclays' customers.
                              It is also scrapping interest on standard current accounts and interest on overdrafts is going up from 15.6% to 17.9%.
