(i) They wanted samples of the children's signatures ~ one was seven, one was two and a half and the other six months. Banghead

(ii) They then asked for "utility bills" in the children's names to prove that they existed and lived where the application forms said. censored:

The excuse was "Money Laundering Regulations"

We went elsewhere.

(The clue is in the capitals used in High Street Bank C***s)

May be 0% but the difference between their buy and sell rate certainly makes up for it evil:
The $$$ are staying chez moi evil:

Regulations? eeek:
