OT Fee to payin cahs to bank

[mike]

OT: Just heard that Lloyds tsb are going to charge a fee for anyone paying in *cash* to their bank account!!!!

[Dave Liquorice]

That's been the case for many banks for a long time depending on the type of account you have. Certainly it's always been the case for my essentially web based (but free of *any* charges for my level of use) business account with HSBC.

[The Medway Handyman]

Always been the case with business accounts. Thieving Barstewards.

And it takes time to 'clear'.

[stuart noble]

Builders paying cash in?? You 'avin a laugh?

[The Medway Handyman]

I will have you know that I pay in every single penny I get! Not doing so would defraud those nice people at HMRC.

Tsk. The very idea.

[Tim Streater]

Er no. It defrauds the rest of us.

You believe that Government spending is all good?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah[gasp]hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

[Tim Streater]

I don't know how to get to that from what I posted. I just pointed out that if someone underpays (or if enough people do it), then taxes get put up somewhere else to compensate.

[Vir Campestris]

Not the point. If someone doens't pay the tax they'll get the money from someone else, perhaps by chaging tax rates.

What they do with it is another matter entirely.

Someone's got to pay for GCHQ's link to PRISM...

and if they get more tax they think up some more useless ways to spend it and still put up taxes.

[Huge]

I'm afraid this assumes that taxes are rational, when they are no such thing.

Someone on R4 on Saturday was speculating that since it is illegal both for GCHQ to spy on British citizens in the UK and the NSA to spy on American citizens in the US, they simply swap roles and spy on each other's citizens, then swap the data; neatly side-stepping the law.

[dennis]

Paranoid?

They just spy on the Russians who are spying on you, and others.
