    I understand your fear, I was very hesitant and still am to some extent.
    It just occurred to me that there a billions of people out there that are doing online banking, you only hear about it when it goes wrong, but nobody mentions when its gone right.

      I will then :biggrin: They e-mailed me to say that a piece of post had been returned to them and would I contact them to check that my address was correct. I've always found them very accessible by phone so called them as requested, went over the address details with the polite and articulate young man at the other end. All sorted. I've always found NW to be very impressive, unlike French banks, which beggar belief for errors, expense, rudeness and obstructiveness.

        I opened a bank account with Nationwide just over a year ago. No intrusive questions, no problem opening the account and happy with their service.

            What's happening to the world?

            A principal of a Florida school has been forced to resign after a parent complained that sixth-grade students were exposed to pornography.

            The complaint arose from a Renaissance art lesson where students were shown Michelangelo's statue of David.

              I read that and almost threw my phone across the room. Complete imbeciles. The Florida governor has made it law to not teach sex ed too. The US really is going backwards

                  I bought a packet of Fantasio Tom seeds from Suttons. It states average contents 85 seeds, there was 10 and none have germinated.

                      That's very strange Pete, I paid a lot more than £1.99 and does say 85, honest.

                      I will post the packet to Suttons and complain.

                            She's playing within the rules so a bit of a sensationalist story unfortunately. It stinks but nothing strictly wrong although morally questionable. I think the standard response is 'its in the rules and we have to vote late'
