Loads of B&B's in the Crown Street / Bon Accord Street area - worth a look?

Another shout for Aberdein Considine / Indy Financial Centre - all free mortgage service, a good discount of the legal fees if they do your purchase as well and a free bottle of wine to boot. Its worth speaking to your own bank as well - banks are pretty cagey at the moment and keeping their best deals for existing customers. Better the devil you know and that....

With Sky. Was only getting about 1.5 with BT's '8 Meg' for four times the price. I'm near the beach ...

I agree that it won't impact directly but on any credit application I've filled out it always asks how long you've been with your bank. It depends on the lender, but I'm guessing they prefer to see someone who has been with their bank a long time than someone who has been with them for a few months and this may influence in some way how they score you. Maybe its not a big deal but I'm just a bit paranoid about these things. I've heard of a few folk who had a real hassle changing bank accounts as DD's got missed out or whatever. I'm just a sucker ?(

Yeah it deffinately works, I have a suspicion the problem is that its a new postie. The mail used to hit the doormat before 9 most days now we're lucky if its before lunch. I like the way you're dealing with the stick you're getting here. I tip my hat to you for strolling around aberdeen in the snow and rain and generally shit weather, for that respect is due

Another vote for the Urquhart Road chippie...

HBOS has been steadily going downhill for customer service and particularly showing any customer loyalty since Halifax merged with BoS. A couple of months ago I went the grand total of 80p into my overdraft for about 3 hours until I transferred money. Despite having a reasonably healthy savings account, mortgage, credit card and having been a customer of the bank ever since they gave out those saver squirrel money boxes I was charged this 35 + 28 charge. I phoned up pretty confident that I could get the fee waived but insead was told that these were the conditions I had agreed to and they wern't going to waive the fees. Feeling confident that no one could look me in the eye and claim that 63 was a fair price for going 80p into an overdraft for 3 hours I went down to the branch and sure enough the fee was refunded. I know from my Fiancee's experience that RBS won't hit you with a charge if you put money into your account before 2pm on the same day. With this latest wheeze HBOS have cooked up with their fee's I'm sorely tempted to fuck them off and go elsewhere but its the hassle and the impact on my credit record thats holding me back. Bastards.

I live in a typical Aberdeen tenement (which I have a lot of pet hates about but I'll save those for another day), but on the subject of postmen, ours used to let himself in via the service button and put the mail though the individual doors. Now they all get dumped though the main door for people to trample on. Do you're fecking job properly and I might have some sympathy for your bloody strike!

Grandholm Dental Clinic - Grandholm Village, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, Scotland This place seems to be taking people on in batches, up till last week they were taking on new NHS patients. Worth keeping an eye on. There is a NHS dentist in Northfield that always seems to have spaces. Going there involves parking in Byron square... take the bus.
