South African 1500m runner opens bank account
I recently opened a bank account with Abbey (taking advantage of the multiple current accounts with Santander 6% interested rate scam) and must have accidentally had a mouse slip when selecting my title from the drop down box. I got the confirmation letter through entitled Mrs MattyLion.

I rung up the customer service number only be told it wasn't possible to change this kind of information over the phone (as if I'd had a recent sex change). I was adamant that I wasn't asking to CHANGE my gender, just get it right in the first place but no luck.

The chap kindly suggested I'd have to go into my local branch to prove my gender, I'm off into Chester this afternoon to slap my tackle on the cashiers desk, or possiby against the glass.

Incidentally why the hell doesn't the credit check they do bring up such disparity?

Right you are...
Although I'm sure she'll step up when she's more comfortable with the length ;)

And they'll say:
"Sorry madam...don't you have anything smaller?" or some such crap.

Have a click for a genuine office lol though.

I hope for your sake...
..that the women behind the desk doesn't fire the security barrier.

If she does, then you might find the account details suddenly become correct.
