Is it just me that wants to throw up with the phrase "reaching out"?
Is "contacting us" not correct enough?

We had this discussion at work....

Glad you stopped there!

Anyway, BoE meeting in less than a fortnight. Let's see who "reaches out" to savers after that 🤣

I expect more towards The Grinch, than to Santa tbh.

Or, alternatively, more towards Scrooge, before he was transformed into his new, much more generous self, after meeting the 3 Spirits (Ghosts) of Christmas past, present and future respectively!

It certainly isn't! I too would say AAAGH! along with being asked to fill OUT forms.

In respect of cringeworthy phrases, I have just opened a Nationwide saver and going through the process and then paperwork that came today - it makes my toes curl for some reason the way they refer to their on-line banking web site as 'The Internet Bank' like it's the only one.  Plus I can't even use their Internet Bank or the app because they don't have my mobile to send me an OTP - yet I know that I gave it during registration, as I make notes of such things.  So after half an hour on the phone aiming to give it to them (again), unsuccessfully, I'll try once more first thing on Monday, then call it quits.  I'm certainly not funding the account until I can get in to actually look at it.

lol I always thought 'The internet bank' was a stupid phrase too. Especially coming from (or possibly because its coming from?), the least technical bank of them all, that still uses a card reader.

I like my card reader, as someone who gets a lousy mobile signal at home it makes my life easier.
It's also more secure than sending OTP via text message.
