  1. Thanks for clarifying. That probably explains the further applications years after for change of classification and use of the entire top three buildings Either way not exactly "driven out by the council" as boldly stated earlier by our resident child genius.
  2. So? Can't be that much priority if you have enough strength to post on here moaning about it You could choose to pay for one and get seen next week if you wanted. However if you want it out of the state's purse, then sorry - you need to wait your turn.
  3. Me neither. Nor do I believe the guff from Irene that it's the Council who "drove out McDonalds" by refusing permission for their alterations. The planning docs say the proposals were withdrawn by the applicant not refused by the council. The McDonald's kept going for a very long while after all that and was even occupied by Stone The Crows for a period long after McD's vacated. If the council were supposedly that desperate to take possession and knock it down, they took a long time to do it.
  4. Wow. All the buzzwords in one load of doom monger waffle. I need to start a bingo card. You really are not going to give up your delusion that a 'socialist Labour' is what people want and will solve all the problems. The People have spoken many times and they clearly do not want what your lot are selling. Oh and for the record, voter preference for Conservatives over any form of Labour has been going on a lot longer than simply post 1980s . Go wise up on your political history and you will see how many more conservative prime ministers have been in power over Labour. Does that not tell you something?
  5. Bull. Woman earning £500k a year, living in a £4m house who has sent the past couple of years milking her husband's illness for TV documentaries, newspaper articles and interview appearance fees pleading poverty..... Hmmm. Nothing to do with six figure debts from her late husband's failed company which she herself signed into Liquidation over two years ago. Yes. It has to stop. Time for Garroway to bore off.
  6. Well what you deludedly expect and actually receive are two very different things. The owners of the retail park will know full well who their customer base is. It has been designed and is operated predominantly for customers arriving by private car and at least 11 of its 19 tenants are businesses where cash transactions will be very much in the rarity. We are looking at furniture shops, high value electricals, home improvement stores and a travel agent here. Exactly the sorts purchases that normal people will not be paying with wads of cash, therefore no pressing demand for an ATM. Just because you want to act like some rebel against electronic payments doesn't mean the rest of the world is. If you want to be inconvenienced by insisting on cash, that's your problem.
  7. Absolutely. Something seems very fishy here. Another woe is me documentary and accompanying interviews. Another cash injection on the back of her late husband's illness. Based on the report she is earning £544k a year from her tv work, which, even after the substantial tax, equates to more than someone's annual salary every month. They live in a £4m property. Even if half of her monthly income was on this 'extortionate' care - it still left nearly £9k a month to pay everything else. Cut your cloth accordingly - everyone else would have to. Maybe sell the £4m house and buy somewhere else. Im sure £2m could still buy something nice leaving the other £2m to pay for these supposed debts. Seems to me that there is some excuse making and playing for sympathy here. Banging on about care costs and struggling when its obvious that the hardship has REALLY came from of her husband's failed company. Interesting also that she claims in the article that she had no legal authority on the failing business yet a quick glance at companies house shows her named as a shareholder and the one who signed the Liquidation paperwork over two years ago. Pity the journalist failed to mention things like that. Although that wouldn't have resulted in a nice gooey life interest sympathy seeking piece.
  8. State pensions, jobseekers allowance, employment and support allowance, maternity allowance, bereavement allowance.... Its not all simply handed to the NHS.
  9. Quite surprising. Less than 3 months ago I walked into the Halifax meadowhall and opened an account for myself with nothing more than my driving licence and a quick credit check using my credit card. They didn't mention anything about requiring a special appointment. In fact, I just sat with the advisor filled in the application myself using their iPad and job was done in about 5 minutes. Maybe you were just unlucky with your particular branch.
  10. No. I just prefer to enjoy my lunch hour rather than wasting time at a bank when I can do the same transaction much more conveniently from home, at a time beyond 9-5 or even at the weekend. Its not 1975 anymore. Telephone and internet banking exists.
  11. But you had to waste part of your lunch break and spend time physically having to go to a branch to "sort it in 5 minutes". Whilst a 40 minute waiting on hold is not ideal, I would still prefer to be able to call them at my convenience from the comfort of my home while sat in my PJs.
  12. Not a surprise. Ha d a feeling that was going to happen after they refurbished The Moor branch and did nothing with High Street. They really don't need two centre branches these days.
  13. What decade are you in? I am a damn sight older than you claim to be, but even I had my own passbook account, as did many of my junior school classmates. In fact, at that time, a representative of the Yorkshire Bank used to come into school once a week so we could pay our pocket money into it. By the time I reached teenager, I had my own junior account with a cash card and then a few years later a Solo debit card which was widely used. Kids these days are even more sophisticated. It's certainly not uncommon to see junior school age kids with their own prepaid debit cards or bank accounts with regular visa debit cards for those a bit older. Banks offer kids accounts as a routine service. Have done for decades. Kids are getting their own smartphones before they reach 10, they embrace a basic concept of the internet even earlier. Their world is digitised right from nursery to home to school to friends to work. Of course kids living in that world will expect to be able to buy things online, or add some music to their screaming service or download some game onto their devices... Just take a look in some of the supermarkets at the gift cards and prepaid things that can be bought. A good proportion of it is certainly not aimed at adults. The days of a quid out of mum's purse every week or £5 clipped to a birthday card from Grandma are long gone. It's very different and given your claimed age, it seems quite bizarre that you come out with such stuff. You're at least 15 years behind the rest of us most of the time.
  14. They're not wrong though. Hardly a stretch to figure out how someone like Putin's mind works. The world has been watching and reacting to his behaviour for a long time.
  15. No. Simple maths: 365 Tory seats is MORE than the 203 Labour ones and MORE than the 48 SNP ones and MORE than the 11 Lib Dem ones and MORE than the 8 DWP ones and MORE than the 15 other party ones.... 365 is also MORE than half of the available 650 total seats, hence, what's the word..... Oh yes. MAJORITY. How is this so hard for you to understand.
