Just bragging about your tan Ken, mine doesn't recognise me because I don't look happy, it has been a long time since I registered my photo

Ken, the lovely lady from Glasgow was Christine. You will receive a bouquet of flowers on your return to UK, as a thank you for you funding the new Cathargo, your acc wont show this yet!!

And to make matters worse, you are going to lose another hour next weekend when the clocks change.
I had similar issues with my bank yesterday, long story about useless tech messing me about and threatening not to make a payment and inability to communicate with a human to sort it.
Ended up driving to the next town where a bank branch still exists.
My two and a half hours on websites, phone and travel to branch trumps your one hour.
Great this technology eh?

Bankers..!
Rhyming slang.!

My Portuguese account is with a branch in the Tavira Region.
I've moved to a town in the Faro Area.
The local branch won't talk to me. I can pay in and take money out... That's all.

Changing from one bank to a different bank is virtually impossible, because my bank won't pass on any details of standing orders, direct debits or my personal info.
Good job I'm skint.
