    many bills actually work out cheaper with a regular DD than if you pay by some other means.
    Whilst that's true, in this case the OP was talking about insurance, which is almost always more expensive paid monthly.

    How sexist. Women can as capable as men at pretty much anything they choose, including complete and utter stupidity.

    Oi, you should be looking back over some of your posts before accusing others of sexist remarks.

    I take goldiegirl's as a light-humoured-tongue-in-cheek remark, as I took yours.

    The trouble with Internet forums is that you can't see the emotion with which a post was made. You can't ever be certain, but at times it helps imagining what the poster meant.

    After 50 years of banking I have yet to pay any charges, but find remembering t and c's and learning new online procedures is just too troublesome, so with you all the way ThursdaysChild.
    Gradually back to cash for me too.
