What makes you think that you should get an account and the rest of us shouldn't ?
I can't understand people who want to bend the rules......perhaps you can explain your reasoning ?1 -
Go for it ! Rules were made to be broken1

Your local societies in Essex will be the Saffron (Walden), Suffolk (far north of Essex) or the Cambridge (M11 side) - depending on where you live. They all do regular savers - but you don't normally need to visit a branch to open them.

My ybs loyalty regular esaver is maturing, it says the money will go into the 6 access esaver, is it possible to have it paid into another account please? My saver 13 has a better rate or would i need to wait for it to go into this and then transfer it again please?
Also to anyone that has had it, can you roughly let me know how much interest you get, its had multiple interest rate increases so I'm not sure how much to expect. I put in £500 each month1 -
Apologies if this is obvious - I can't see it in any of the literature.
Does the cheque you open a Mansfield BS account with have to have your own name printed on it? My fiancee and I have a joint account but only my name is printed in the chequebook. All I can see is an instruction to make the cheque out to 'Mansfield Building Society - [initial] [surname]' which implies that it doesn't have to be from your own account, but I know some building societies don't like this.
Is it strictly one deposit per month or can I make a subsequent deposit by Faster Payment once we have the passbooks?0 -

I don't live in the local area and have been with them for less than their stipulated 12 months but I received an email from them about the product. Is it worth a try to open?0

They are not the only institution to do this3 -

Yes you can make subsequent deposits, "A maximum deposit of £250 per month applies. You can vary the amount and pay more than one deposit per month into the account."1
