mini-moan: dance monkey

Today I ventured into town and paid a visit to my friendly bank, you may remember one of my very first moans was regarding the needless bureaucracy and numerous hoops required merely to pay money into my bank account, thankfully The Halifax have abandoned this archaic system that harks back to the 1940s and I commend the sane individual at The Halifax (I doubt it was Howard) that put an end to the madness.

Now I turn my wrath on the NATIONWIDE!!! (that was meant to be a Wrath of Kahn reference).
As I have moved I wished to update my address, so unimportant documents such as my credit card statement, bank statements, the little things, would actually reach me. I'm silly like that. But I was told I would need to provide proof of my new address, perhaps a bank statement would be sufficient before they could change it.
In order to update my address I need to provide a letter sent to my new address, but I don't have such a letter because I can't get somebody to send a letter to my new address without somebody sending a letter to my new address. If you were able to follow that sentence then you must be autistic. I do not possess utility bills for my new address because I've only just moved in, so what else can I use?
Well I went next door to the Halifax and they updated the address without even asking for my signature, so in a few weeks when my Halifax statement arrives I can show that to the Nationwide and they will gladly update my address.

It's all rather silly isn't it.

And now you have to forget the names of the institutions I bank with as that could be a potential security vulnerability. Somebody will visit you shortly with a mind-melting ray to ensure you no longer remember... anything.
