I do not mean this in a bad way, but I do not see many over 50s opening an internet account.

My Gran cant turn the computer on, let alone surf the net!

Ray, guess what, my Son - in - Law who is 31 cannot cannot turn a computer on, my Daughter isn't much better, guess where they turn for help?

Got it, Dad, who is the wrong side of 50 and amazingly can switch on a computer, as well as build his own computer.:rolleyes:

People of any age can have difficulty with using computers. The perception is that older people are more likely to be unable to use them. Older people are more entitled not to be able to use computers due to the salient fact that they were not used in schools and education when they were young and in full time education.

I find the stereotyping of older people nauseating. A similar regime exists in the workplace whereby older people are generally disregarded in favour of younger whizkids who think that they know it all. Many of them, though able to use a computer well, cannot write or spell properly.

Are they getting inundated with applications? Their website has been down for a couple of hours - it says it is planned maintenance but you don't do planned maintenance on your website just after launching a new web-based account!

maybe...
I have submitted a postal application and an on-line one in the hope of getting 'one through', even though I already have one (6.25% fixed 10/09)

Selfish... maybe
