Is it too much to ask?

Interesting read .... I am with the co-operative Bank .... I need to draw to £2800 in cash (for my new Paj  :lol:  ).... obviously it would take 10 days to draw out with an ATM!!  
So I rang them and asked how I could get my money out .... No branches within 20 miles, the post Office will only let me draw £250/day .... so how am I going to get my cash out .... simple ... I can't .... but they would happily send me a cheque .... for a fee of £10!!!
When all my financial bits and pieces are sorted I will be closing my 6 accounts with this bank and going into one where I can physically take my cash over the counter!!!
In the end I have had to transfer my money into someone elses account who has a 'walk-in' bank .... good job I've got a friend!!!  :wink:
BTW ... Their call centre is in Skelmersdale!!!  :shock:

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---SWMBO worked on NRE for a while and they (the people paying the bills, not the end-users) got fed up with foreigners confusing things like Southport and Stockport.  Bummer if you are trying to plan a rail journey :roll:

I take it you mean national rail enquiries ...
I worked there for about six months ages ago and we used have to laugh at some of the calls such as when asking where someone wanted to go get the answer "somewhere nice" :lol: or people asking if they could travel to stupid places like the moon by train and anyone traveling to anywhere in wales that started with a ll .... always had to ask can you spell that for me
 :lol:

I have recently signed up to tiscali broadband and with no warning I get cut off. Ihave phoned up 3 times now and every time I get a non english speeking person. I have been told the problem is my extension lead so they have sent me another one. I dont get cut off as often but I am still getting cut off. Why cant I speak to a technician who may have an idea on my problem. A script wont mend my problem.

Grrr

It doesnt surprise me now that companies ie Natwest are advertising UK call centres. I am with HSBC and dont have a problem, I have a direct line to my bank manager, but even he has said when he has been out and needed directions to another branch the person answering the phone in India hasnt a clue.

At least all these have been commercial !

I married a South African, that means that we had to go through a lot of Visa adn immigration paperwork.

Calling Barclycard is one thing but when you call the United Kingdon Immigration and Nationality Directorate and it takes four calls to get somebody with a half decent command of English, that's upsetting !

Oh yes; and the last time we flew into Manchester our passports were checked by a Nigerian - super!
