Then we had Crossroads and Emmerdale Farm
In the early days they all had some charm
No one was murdered, no one was gay
Now the plots beat fifty shades of grey 
And it all goes on in that barn!


The comedians were funny, not rude
Nowadays some are too crude

The President of Irelands sister is one of the virtue signalling exhibitionists on the flotilla
Ranting and raving she is clearly deranged .

Enjoy your heatwave, we're not getting one, might reach 17c if we're lucky. But it's to be overcast with showers.

I've been with Lloyds for years, and can't be bothered to change the current account although I probably should.

I've had a Nationwide current account for years but their savings rates aren't good so stuff gets moved around a bit for savings. The savings one I opened with them is iirc 6.5% for a year and a maximum saving each month of £200. I just treat that as a bill and put it on standing order. I don't save extra to any degree I just move savings money around to make sure I don't use credit anywhere. I've made more from their bonus than I'll make on interest.

Moving current account is supposed to be automatically handled by the bank now but I don't really trust that so haven't moved it. You can pick up £100 or so every year by switching but the possibility of a cock up puts me off.
