Oddly Nationwide don't give anything to customers of either of those banks. Nor did I get anything for my Lloyds credit card nor my Chase or Trading212 accounts.

A lovely day here today, 23 °C, windows open and enjoyable.
My dryer is telling me it's finished, so I'd better fold and put away.

Re Tommy Robinson, does a Leopard really change its spots?

I think not.

And I'm sorry, but I think Farage is a better-educated, slightly more charismatic,
better-spoken, Tommy Robinson.

I think the Greens may come to regret their choice of leader.

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

You need a current and savings account with them. There are some minimum amounts you need to maintain in them. It is still a mutual society and account holders are members which is sort of shareholders with this payout being the equivalent of an annual dividend. It counts as interest for tax purposes which means for most it is tax free.

GP appointment shortly,  then up to the Co-op.

Then this afternoon I have got a gardener coming to help me for a little while.  I've got a bit of heavy stuff to do and don't quite feel quite strong enough lately.

The Rovers Return was always full
And glamorous Elsie on the pull
Didn't she hitch up with the builder Len?
But she was oggled by all the men
But Len married Rita.. the fool

Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 08:28:58 PMI agree with much of what you say Granny .
However I think that the Greens are no longer slightly eccentric tree huggers they have been infiltrated by the Islamist party and are seriously dangerous .
I think Zack Polenski is loony though , ditto Hannah Spencer , The Islamists will get rid of them as soon as they become no longer necessary .
Then it will become truly green in that is the colour of Islam .
Tommy Robinson may well have been guilty of thuggery but that was nearly two decades ago .
People change they get older , his last conviction ( for which he was jailed ) was for contempt of court. This was because he high lighted  the Pakistani grooming gangs - but the trial was ongoing hence he was held in contempt of court .
He was however right in what he said . Douglas Murray said almost  the same thing but the highly educated and erudite Murray is a lot more difficult for the PTB to rough house and jail . Although having said that the police had no trouble in threatening the equally educated and erudite Gabriel Faltar  for looking too Jewish ( he was wearing a scull cap ) and was walking the streets of London where he lives on a Saturday . Goodness knows mustn't annoy the foul mouthed pro Palestine mob.
This is not what we want for our country .

I fully agree with you, Muddy, especially the sections I have emboldened.

As for Tommy Robinson being jailed for contempt of court, presumably for saying the 'wrong words', isn't it strange that far more serious crimes performed by 'some people' seem to avoid a jail sentence.  I have mentioned elsewhere that our judges, in some cases, seem to be quite varied in their sentencing.  They should perform their duties on a completely equal basis, but do appear sometimes to be personally biased!
