    "Getting" an account is no problem for me.

    "Filling" it however.....

    Ha we all have that problem but if that is right that would be great news. Maybe that forms part of the budget as a meeting tool place with Lloyds TSB & RBS (which of course we own) with the government yesterday and they were told to up lending to businesses so maybe that would be part of meeting and agreement.

    Personally i would not go near those banks with a bargepole after being a so called valued customer of Lloyds TSB until things went wrong for me financially.

    Co-op & YBS for me now :T
