  • actually no I don;t think it;s funny but come on, be serious for a minute and read some of your posts - that must even to you look like we're being wound up?

    Why didn't you just tell us at the beginning what you wanted instead of hiding things - it just makes people think you;re out to waste time. We will help if you;re serious - so you are half to blame in all this.....

    just draw a line under it and chill out, coutts aint that great tbh and if you can afford it then look at other choices. 1st direct is free = and better than coutts probably! they are rated one of the best banks for a reason :D
    I was not intentionally hiding anything. I just didnt want to be taken for a ride by somebody trying to rip me off that is all. It pays to be cautious nowadays. I am being deadly serious. After all of this nonsense thank you very much "Never-In-Doubt" for your advice. I will certaintly look at First Direct & I am extremely sorry if I have caused you offense in all of this.

    The main point is..DO NOT be confrontational if you require advice or help :D

    To be fair I was not the one who started swearing am I? I would however like to put all of this behind us & try & deal with the situation in hand. Coutts & Co. Is it worth it or not? Btw are you 14 & 3/4s or are you actually older than that?

    well spoken. seriously just chill out a bit and you can have a good laugh on this forum..... dont get too personal, lots of people buddy-up cos believe it or not we do have the same ambition - to help others!

    Take care and good luck whatever you do - let us know how you get on with 1st direct if you go for this..... they also give high CC limits (I got offered almost £6.5k which was double my current highest) so if you have a high limit they should match it. :T
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    first page here:

    http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=percentage+ratio+of+dyslexic+people&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

    says various different percentages - maybe they can;t add up :confused::confused:

    Was dat "Bllockso" meant to be funny? Because it was quite a good joke! I never thought of it like that! But it's true. The main board for research on Dyslexia announced that figure last year.
