You could try Santander, and then you might speak to my son-in-law, who
gets quote pissed off by (I quote) "old cunts who haven't got a fucking
clue" but does his best to help them anyway (and then vents to us
afterwards). But you won't be reading this anyway so I don't know why I
fucking bother.

Yes bin there and got the T shirt. They do have some kind of unofficial
limit, as I tried to move some money using one and it spat it out, and a
cheque also was rejected, so I had to ask them to re submit it, It took ten
days for a manual transfer of several thousand to a new building society
account. OK they are being ultra careful, but I did go in person to my
Lloyds branch and told them but they told me that they have no way to pass
this on to the debit and cheque clearing house companies they now sub the
work out to. What a ridiculous way to run a bank.
