Can you get a UK bank account if you don't 'exist'

No one is preaching morals, we are trying to get across the concept of maturity and common sense.

Even if we accept your need for asking these daft questions, can you not do it in a general forum? Mostly your threads have very little to do with students and moneysaving. Why not post them where everyone can read and comment, or is that why you just do it here?

As for just not clicking on your thread, well some of us value the forum and dont like to see it being degraded.

You may have learnt by now I just ignore the geeky losers who try to preach morals to me

you are an unbelievable idiot! I am actual sat here like gobsmacked!!!

You have no right to call me or other people annoyed at your threads "geeky losers". Grow up!!!

And as for preaching morals, !!!!!! WAKE UP! You're 25! You're a member of society! You should live by these morals and if you dont, then that's your problem but go away and stop influencing others to do the same!!!!

Without morals is havoc - it's people like you that should end up locked away!!! People with no morals!

i think this is the main issue - this forum is for student moneysaving - a lot of people, me included, have been given help from other users. having helpful posts pushed down the board by irrelevant stuff gets a bit annoying.

ryan - maybe you could start your posts in the arms, which is the part of the site designed to take non-moneysaving posts.

alternatively you try using google as a starting point!

i personally don't appreciate being called a geek for no good reason - an important rule of the site is to be nice to other moneysavers. i think people have shown a lot of good will and patience, and any post you see as preaching moral results in a petty response.

you can go and say anything you want, but do you have to do it in this forum, where it kind of goes against the spirit of its intention? you may find it sad but all the boards have a community feel and as you don't see things in the same way as the rest of us, why just come and provoke people? you can't be that bored?!

I came back to the UK for university, had my passport, address at my Oxford college and proof of my place and had no trouble at all opening my first uk bank account, including getting a debit card, credit card and cheque book, and student overdraft.

great - which bank was it?

as much as i hate to side with ryan, he is right, you dont have to read his threads, and you talk about morals.. well yea, lack of morals cause most of our countries problems.. but so do things like the lack of freedom of speech being preached by our government.

By posting comments almost as childish as his own, you are encouraging ryan to post more, simply because you give him a reaction. learn to bite the bullet and just not say anything.

He does make me smile though and lots of people seem to read his threads. Sorry guilty once of reacting, I should know better because i have a 15 year old son

Rather confusing in light of your previous comments.... amusing of course that you dont wish to be generalised to his behaviour inspite of his being nearly 10 years older than you

Chatta said "I should know better because i have a 15 year old son" thus comparing his son to Ryan... that make sense now?

talksalot81

Yeah, but you then make sure to distance yourself from that level of maturity.... and it is amusing that a 16 year old feels that way about a 25 year old!
