    Any other bank I could understand, but why are NR panicking? Surely they don't need to make big profits :confused:

    At least your Ste will go for them............My OH would refuse (dont see why I am sure the server knows they wont be for him:rolleyes: ) other "no way will I buy" items on his list are ladies tights and vaseline:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Just look around at your local shops - don't forget the local independents - and look for someone offering a good deal. Then look up reviews on the internet.

    You don't need a massive one, you can just sit closer.

    And the same goes for a TV.

    Because they're now run by civil servants who have no concept of pragmatism, only of sucking up to the boss.

    So they'll cycle between:

    aggressive debt collection - get into the papers - passive debt collection - get grief for poor figures - aggressive debt collection - ...

    If you think they'll eventually get a clue and choose somewhere in the middle which is working for the best for them and their customers, neither of whom benefits from a re-possession, then I have one thing to say to you: :rotfl:
