    This is the one

    With the Co-op one you need to ask tto appeal the decision when the computer says no at the time of application. It is then sent to be done by a real life person and they usually open one.

    I think I'll open one too. Ive managed to save £200 but it's not doing much good sitting in a drawer!!

    Edit: Ten minutes & all done. Thanks Tigerfeet!
