Looks like being a bright day. Good to see CPW powering ahead... ;-)

Morning all.

I keep seeing articles about people being unhappy with thier banks, and of course
despite this they won't move thier accounts. But I wish the people writing the articles would
also write about why they won't move thier accounts......

A couple I can think of:
1. It can take weeks, even months to set up a new account
2. You have to go into a branch to produce your passport and 2 x proof of
address, not more than 3 months old. Or some require you to risk them in the POST!
3. You loose your credit rating...............

The Office of Fair Trading said it has extended for a further 10 days the period to consider the anticipated acquisition by Travis Perkins PLC of Wickes Ltd. The period for considering this Notice will therefore expire on Feb 7th.

This should get a few tongues wagging tomorrow.... ;-)
