  • Have to agree with the above. Joking aside, keep text speak in its rightful place.

    There again, my son lambasts me for spelling each word in full and including commas, full stops, question marks in my (infrequent) texts to him.

    Has anyone sussed predictive text out? Beyond me!

    Predictive text is a godsend! Wouldn't be without it now :)

    There's nothing wrong with maintaining high standards... :rotfl:
  • Why do Sun readers have a permanent indentation in the centre of their forehead and shoulders permanently fixed in a shrug position?

    Well when someone tells them a joke and delivers the punch line they just shrug their shoulders in misunderstanding and then when the punchline is explained they slap their forehead with the heel of their hand in surprised enlightenment! :rolleyes:

    I suspect you will find she/he is very well educated, from a rival bank and is attempting to stir up a bit of "let's torpedo First Direct" feeling.

    The post was obviously written so appallingly badly that I guess someone was trying a little *too* hard to appear poorly educated and outraged at First Direct's impending charges.

    At least I hope so............it's hard to believe that any real person could compose something as awful as that :confused:

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.
  • Having re-read the original post I'd be inclined to agree with chuckles1066. Lots of obvious errors or mis-spells (nothing wrong in essence with that) but then words that are commonly mis-spelt being typed correctly with all the right quantities of duplicate letters. It also seems to have the sole intention of fd customers closing their accounts, rather than just a simple vent. Strange post for your first one really now that I think about it, without giving any background at all.
