    Is there a Just-So story about that? Or am I confusing Kipling with Califia?

    Well with credit cards, it was agreed that £12 is a reasonable maximum. I don't know how far you'd get with challenging the £14 - how many charges are you talking here? - it may well take more than it's worth.

    With bank charges it's a little different as the charges can mount for many into hundred of pounds every month which are obviously unjustified. BG could argue that the £14 isn't only the cost of a letter, but all the additional admin/chasing that a late payment will incur.

    It's nice in the Internet age there are still such innocents abroad. Please do not bother to Google for enlightenment about Rudyard and Pat. Remain aloof to such vulgarities in your quaint little bubble. (Hey, I'm being serious. If you didn't catch what I meant then you do not want to know what I meant.)

    (Girl, has this thread degenerated. Way to alienate new blood! Mea maxima culpa.)

    (On second thoughts, I retract the 'maxima'.)
