Unless anyone's willing to make a trip to Newcastle (or lives locally), no cripticalness about it.
It's quicker to hop on a train than send something in the post and wait for the response.

Shame the new Greggs pub is closed for a private event today 

Branch only or via QR code displayed in branch….(link challenge for @Bridlington1 ? 😂)

If someone ( @surreysaver ?) has access to the branch, they could share the QR code here..

I don't want to be the irresponsible one ..
But Gregg's beer sold in Fenwick is expensive

Yorkshire BS Christmas 2025 eRS

This one is due to mature on 31st October. Balance only £1500 (10 x £150, account was only available from Jan 25). Interest rate has dropped to 4.80%.

I've closed mine today a couple of weeks early. (Currently getting 4.55% on EA). Reason for early closure (apart from the unexciting rate) is to free up some money for RS deposits due on 3rd November Also, there is so much going on in my accounts at the turn of the month that an RS maturing on 31st October is just extra hassle.

Interest credited today is £30.82.

If you closed yours today when do they say you’ll get your money?

They could... but should they? It's rather pushing the boundaries to attempt to open a branch-opening only account without setting foot in the branch. And if one person has spent their own time, as well as possibly train/bus fare, to get to the branch, then it's a bit unfair for others to take advantage of that.

It depends where you draw the line.

After all, we are supposed to be a supportive forum helping others with our experiences/knowledge.

Personally, I think it is more dubious for some to try a 13th payment in cases where it is explicitly disallowed by T&C, or incorrectly using a freepost address to avoid the cost of a stamp..

Five cross-county bus trips on my free bus pass before the branch closes for the day is just too much effort even for me!

It will be in my bank account tomorrow (Friday 17/10) they say.

It would be charitable to open one as they are donating £5 for each account opened to local charities!
