Thanks for the intro to Feeder. It's changed how I read news. No more tabs and bookmarks 😉

Because the name begins with GIMP.
Russia has never cared. About anyone or anything.
Being ex British Forces, this always makes me laugh.
Is that another name for a Salisbury steak?
Or is it because he can't use a knife and fork?
Bugger. That's unfortunate.
For a few quid you can pick up a slow cooker in a charity shop - make sure the bowl is not chipped and give it a thorough clean.
Dead cheap to run.
I agree to a point - but not everyone wants to do stuff over the phone - some business is better done face to face.
Shopkeepers had to drive to a bank, where ever that may be, now that Hertford branches are closing as well, that may be Welwyn Garden City, Bishops Stortford or Harlow. And with Hertford being the county town - I think that's pretty piss poor.
The banking hub is a great idea, but two years so far and sod all.
Personally? Very, very rarely now. The last time was to open a joint account with my wife. Can't do that in the branch in Hertford (the county town) apparently. We didn't bother in the end.
Shopkeepers trying to pay in their takings, older people that can't use web services. People that want to talk about their requirements rather than filling out a poorly thought out script on the aforementioned web page, all need somewhere physical.
We are supposed to be getting a banking hub, the main banks will each have a representation there. Its been asked about for a couple of years now but hasn't got anywhere.
As people use online banking more, less are going to physical buildings. Plus their hours were also awkward and didn't fit in with people working weekends etc. Why pay all the costs of maintaining a building, and more importantly, the costs and wages of people to staff them when you can have a website?
Where I live in Ware, Hertfordshire we don't have a bank anymore. There used to be ay least four. There's building society, but banking has to be done via the post office. Which is in a shop. The main post office closed some years ago and moved into a shop. That closed and we had nothing for over a year.
It's shite.
Yes, that's the saddest thing. They have to prepare for a known criminal to literally bulldoze his way over all the good work that has been done. He doesn't even understand what's been done, he just knows that it was done by people that aren't on his side. So it must be bad.
Not a lot of sympathy for them about is there?
