    everything, I'm not suggesting that the grammer and punctuation on a Forum need to be 100% correct, mine isn't, but I (not lower case you will note) think there are limits.:confused:

    Bob - there is no need for that. If you don't have anything useful to say then you know what to do!

    well I am truly sorry that my grammar isn’t up to your standards and I will try my best for you in future.

    I will now go away and think about what I have done

    thanks for the help by the way :confused:

    Well its not problem to use someone else's bank account (I'm not sure if that applies to minors though as there accounts aren't subject to tax) I would have thought though it is easier to open your own account.

    Have you tried the Co-op or Barclays, they offer Bank Accounts for BR, they are basic, though it is generally good for what you need the account for.
