Just received a letter this morning, saying its going to start charging me for my account, but I was one of the people who applied for and got free banking for life. Can they do this? They have tried in the past and failed. What should I do?

Me too, very annoying. As Daz says though, there is free business banking out there but changing your custards over will be a nightmare. And any new bank you change to might do the same in the near future and then you'll be doing it again. They did this a few years back but there was such a big outcry from their customers that they reversed it, cant see them backing down twice. I'll send them an email registering my feelings anyway, At least if everyone does so they will feel the weight of opinion. I have about 20 custards left who pay by cheque (mostly elderly) so it wont go down well but guess its time to stop the cheques.

It only applies to private cleaning, not paid for services.

Time for a boom in sales calls 🤣

One of the local newspapers reported the conditions of hose pipe use with the Yorkshire hose pipe ban by Yorkshire water.

They specifically mentioned the cleaning of windows with a hose pipe was forbidden under the ban. No clarification was to whether it was the homeowner or a window cleaner who was banned from cleaning windows with a hose pipe.

Even I was confused by the wording of the report.

I think it's a hosepipe connected to a mains supply. Like watering your garden.

I agree. But the wording of the report didn't clarify that. It was reported in a way that could be read as a blanket ban of cleaning windows with a hose pipe.

Just had a quick google, cost to have this fixed privately between 2K-4K I think I'd consider this over a year half wait for NHS . I guess if you're able to still work without any down time before surgery it's worth waiting, but I'd consider loss of earnings over going private, tough decision I guess as even after private treatment you've got recovery down time.

Indeed.

I am working with a belt thingy but I find I am being 'careful' and not wanting to strain anything as it wasn't pleasant waiting in A&E and having it pushed back into place.

Also don't want it to get bigger and need urgent/ or bigger surgery if possible. Stitch in time (literally  ) and all that!

Carefully looking at this place and reviews of it. The lead guy is a hernia specialist.
