The wife joined a while back, and they gave her a credit card too, so she buys everything with it in the month, then pay's it off. She's bought this little cottage using a Mortgage through 1-2-3 too.Comment

I had a 5-year bond with National Provincial. On its 5th anniversary I took it in to what had become an Abbey National/ Santander and they quite rudely refused to pay up. I obviously complained in the most polite manner possible (I really was as polite and gentle as its possible to imagine) so the member of staff burst into tears and went and got her manager who took her side and threw me out. Nothing like this has ever happened to me at any time or place. Snotty letters to head office and several months later before I finally got the money out of them. Absolute disgrace and wouldn’t go near them with a bargepole.Comment

Funnily enough i upgraded mine and the joint account to this 123 at the weekend. What was most pleasing about the whole experience, was seeing the reaction of the rather attractive bank clerk to the huge wad of dosh sat In my old account. She was definitely moist!!! Shameful really. If only I was a single man- quick message to the mobile on her bank card. "blah blah....let me take you away from all this..." Ah well."You can't climb the ladder of success, with your hands in the pockets"

Mind you the call centre is in Newcastle and £17.50 will get you a bottle of Thundebird, a packet of fags and a bag of chips for after, a long as she doesn't drop them."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
