Funny that you mention that age, at 102 years old, my Mum, born in London, lived in London, in the same road for most of her life, wanted a bank account with the local Natwest, about 300 yards from her house, they refused as she did not have a current passport or photo driving license. She had her birth cert, a card and letter from the Queen for her 100th, and many more forms of identification, but no, she could not get that account.Originally Posted by walpurgis
Well I'm 102. Do I qualify?

If you're anywhere near that, the time will go fast!

I'm sorted.
That's true, the 5 years since I retired have flown by.

Can't believe that I retired 17 years ago, I did retire early though.

Does she have a bus pass with a photo on it? I have used mine as ID at a NatWest bank.

No, she was housebound for her last few years, but mentally sharp, unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago at close to 103.

Typical of big organisations. No flexibility. A rule is a rule etc. I get it too as my licence doesn't have a picture and don't have a passport.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Probably not worth bothering now, chances are that branch will be closed soon, as has been the fate of most. The three RBS branches nearest to me have gone since last October, the nearest now is the big one in Preston, 12 miles away.

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
