The post you are reporting:
I wanted to open a Bank or Building Society Account for my Grandson,just a simple deposit account that people can put money in.He has so many toys that I thought it would be a good idea,but how wrong I was.
I went into a Buiding Society near McDonuts and said that I wanted to open an account for my Grandson,they said you will need the Birth Certificate and 2 bills from my Daughters residence.So I made the arrangement and back I went.......
Hello I said I would like to open an account for my Grandson,to be greeted by well I can't do it I am due to have lunch in 10mins,so I sat down and waited for the lady who obviously had taken over at 1pm.I am taken into an office.
I would like to open a bank account for my Grandson,I have his birth certificate all my details bills passport and 2 bills from my daughter....
Can't take those we need utility bills,so I explained that when I came in before I was told 2 bills,not utilitiy and as my Daughter had only just moved into her place she had none of these,sorry we can't open an account. I was thinking now perhaps I should put the money in the mattress.
So having banked at N*t W**t for 37 years and knowing all the staff I decide to try there,I want to open a bank account for my Grandson,I have his birth certificate 2 letters to my daughter at her new address and all my details,the lady says thats ok I know you.
I want to open a bank account for my Grandson,everything is in order yes we can open an account but we need to see him!!!!
Being on a night shift my fuse was already short and I said he doesn't live with me,but I have his Birth Certificate,no we need to see him!He is 8 months old and I said what is the point of a birth Certificate to which she shrugged her and said it is the rules.
So I have open an account in my MATTRESS! If anyone wants to chip in!
