I heard on the radio the European Central Bank rate was cut. All of the Banks are passing it on except Ulster Bank – that is if you are on a variable mortgage. I double doubted myself. Tracker or variable? I could buy some trees… ‘herself’ could get me to put down some skirting boards and hang the doors we don’t have… We’d have a field day and eventually we’d get our home looking like one soon-er….
I emailed my very friendly bank….
First: Is this relevant to landscaping? yes. Relevant to my garden, [they are my personal bank] and also my business bank of 9 years. My mortgages were signed in this branches very office.
Second: If I replied via email to you as my client like this… would ‘you’ be happy with my customer service to you?
