So how much time did you have to make up!?! If it was more than 50 minutes you've done well out of the deal ...
If I finished work by 6.35 on a regular basis I'd feel like my life had gone through some kind of major overhaul!

So does the smallest person who lives here! He isn't going to be the smallest for very much longer either. He's as high as my nose now and he's only 7. Actually he's 8 on the 4th October but he's the tallest in the class and his feet are bigger than mine already. He's going to be very tall. |

My elder child was like that, Milly. He's 6'4" now, but not as tall as his cousin who weighed 3lb at birth. I'm quite tall myself, but completely dwarfed by my family. My daughter-in-law (5'5", married to my 6'2" son) has some very small relations, so maybe the baby will be a nice medium (though if it's a boy I'm very happy with 6'+). We can't go on getting taller for ever. |

He said from the back we looked like a couple of kids.  |

Going back to the bank thingy, I opened an account the other day with the world's first super-bank (Lloyds TSB) and it was a piece of cake. Given that I owe every other bank thousands of pounds, I was expecting to be thrown out as soon my postcode was entered on the computer.
My rant is ... I lost count of the number of times the woman started a sentence "With regards to ..." for no apparent reason.

Yes! You don't have any problem at all opening a bank account if you've already had one. It's madness all of it. |

They don't accept doctors', or vicars', or solicitors' letters nowadays to open a bank account. They've told me to bring a valid passport or picture driving licence with the up-to-date address and preferably confirmation from the Town Hall that he is now on the electoral roll. The banks are all linked directly on to the Town Hall website but they haven't put him on the computer yet, when she looked - even though they had adjusted my direct debit payments with immediate effect. Little Britain had it so right....."Computer says No..." To do her justice, the woman seemed very embarrassed about it all. She said "I'm so sorry, I don't make the rules."  P.S. I've just been looking at the driving licence form. We can change the address and renew the photo for £17.50, so I've filled that in accordingly. I'm going to get him a passport in any event, I've decided now, in case we decide to go away again this Christmas. He'll obviously be coming with us. All the same it's going to be another couple of weeks or so before it all comes through and we can open an account for him. Milly - I don't suppose the provisional DL is a paper one is it? If so, I think you can get that updated to a photocard one for free (and, at the same time, update the address details). I think that's what I did a couple of years ago, but I might be remembering wrong. |

No it's a photocard one. We're updating the photo for £17.50. It's free to change the address on it.
