    Surely the transposed equivalent would be 'woman and husband'?

    and that's without getting started on the problems of being "Dr and Mr"... or "Professor and Mr" etc...

    Quick update - the cheque books for the new account have just arrived.

    My name appears first, both on the envelopes and on the cheque books.

    Yay.

    And thank you to Santander for accepting that it was a problem, and doing something about it.
