Right, it's mad isn't it?

This one has no paperless option. I don't know if they're legally obliged to send a bill/statement, but surely if the balance is £0 (and it is every month), it's just costing them money.

I have no objection to this, fight the capitalist power and all that, but you think they'd maybe... I dunno, notice? :D

The bank me and the ex had our mortgages with (main property and an investment) wouldn't send a combined statement even though it was a joint accounts. So every month we got a statement each per account. Thats two statements per each mortgage and two statements for the offset account all send in individual envelopes to the same address. Absolute madness.

Lol.

In France the bank account is in joint names, yet my name is the one on all the cards and cheques. It's what the french do. Drives the wife mad :). I'm clearly more important.

I've got my own account, which I've had since I was 17. My wife has her own account but the bank added me to it (with consent) when we got married. No idea why but there have been times when I've gone out with a debit card in my name and not clocked it's for her account :D

Well in about 3-4 weeks all the mortgages & accounts will be in my name only, and I won't have to ask anyone to spend a cent of it. It's going to be fooking fantastic.

Snap. When we first moved into the house she used to give me money each month towards the bills.

Now a good chuck of my wages goes into her account each month.

No Idea. The ones in the stores. lol.

It's the standard pads that come with the speed triple (brembo calipers and pads). Might look it up to see which they are.
