ScottR96 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 My flatmates and I have incurred a bank charge of £25 for going £2.01 overdrawn in the flat direct debit account. I feel this is a bit excessive considering how much we were overdrawn by. Is it worth trying to contest with the bank or would it be a waste of time? Of course if my absolute dunce of a flatmate put his share of the bills in on time we wouldn't be in this situation. He'll be paying the bank charge out his own pocket regardless but was just wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell the flatmate, though. Just say you've squared it and he owes you £25 in cash. This then gives you a free £15 to get aff yer tits on 6 litres of Frosty Jacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Why, in the name Jethro Tull (in the case of both the band and the influential agriculturalist) is the last name pronounced "tull" and not "tool" (as in fool? Are we correct to pronounce it thus, (rhymes with dull) or have we been wrong all this time?

Write an apologetic sob story email to the bank about your predicament explaining that it was an oversight on your part. If it's the first time they'll probably refund you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank Of Scotland will refund or waiver charges on a one off basis so I'd imagine other banks would do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 In fairness to Wikipedia, I see they no longer claim that there's a £500 note in circulation. This statement is currently accurate at the time of typing, but could change at any moment I recently became aware that there £200 million banknotes held on deposit at the Bank of England, called Titans. Lets plan a P+B heist, we'd only take a couple, no need to be greedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 You may get a flight to Edinburgh/Glasgow for about £60. The bus would work out cheaper but you'd be on it about 9hrs. The train costs the same as flights, but takes longer. Taxi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
