    isn't it "clever" of building societies to charge a fee to lend money when their purpose is to help people save and to lend people money?

    So 'clever' @Blackcats and they've been even more upright and in-line with their ethos today as apparently it takes a minimum of a week to set up our online accounts as we need a code through the post, which they didn't mention in the last year of jumping through hoops to meet their requirements or indeed any of their documents even in small print, but means they can now get an extra week plus worth of interest from us as we have no way of being able to pay it, and they've also 'cleverly' added the completion fee into our mortgage which they ne'er afore mentioned so we are accruing extra interest on that and can't pay it even though we'd like to.

    Ain't the banking system just effing glorious and absolutely on our side and a benefit to society

    That reminds me, did you get those Black Heart brewdog beers for your DS over Christmas? I'd be interested to know what a Guinness drinker made of them
