    only in Northern Ireland would a bank charge £6 for a copy bank statement .
    I have a joint account in northern bank with an elderly relative .My relative receives a statement I dont .
    I asked for a statement and they said £6 please .Northern are living in the dark ages .

    I have another joint account at Santander .I said I wanted online banking and no paper statement ,they said I had to have a paper statement as it was a joint account .

    controversial, yet hilarious as it is very much true! (that people still say it, not that a room is a certain religion based on cleanliness...)
