errr please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it this goverment that actually FORCED pensioners to open accounts to have their pensions paid into. My mother being one of many that didn't want to change from the giro slip but had no choice in the matter. I know of a dozen others from a very small sample group as well so please don't start telling me she was one in a million. Quite simply Chip and Pin and electronic transfers of money confused a heck of a lot of them and was widely reported in the press and not just the tabloids.
Please don't start blaming businesses for failing when its the goverment policy that robs them of one of their core services. Yes road tax is available for some online but not all, with PO's shutting its becoming more and more inconvienient for those who do have to visit to get one.
