Scotland

Happens to me and with their often strong Scottish accent...can't understand a word they say.

First direct (HSBC group) have one office in Glasgow ....the other in Leeds.

So have to keep re-phoning till I get Leeds.

But with 24/7 service and only ever a few minutes wait, at most....it's the top rated bank.

And they pay you to join....£100 - £200 (as it changes)

''Polish squadrons in the Battle of Britain ''

"Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry," wrote Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, head of RAF Fighter Command, "I hesitate to say that the outcome of the Battle (of Britain) would have been the same."[7]

Polish squadrons in the Battle of Britain had the highest kill rate....by far.

The annual inflation in the United States stood at 3.0% in June, going down from 4.0% registered in May and coming in slightly lower than analysts forecast, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed in its report published on Wednesday. Like in May, this change was the smallest 12-month increase since the period ending March 2021. Month-on-month, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew by 0.2%.

The index for shelter was once again the largest contributor to the overall rise with over 70%, followed by the index for motor vehicle insurance. The food index advanced by 0.1% compared to the previous month and 5.7% in contrast with June 2022. The energy index increased by 0.6% month-on-month but sank by 16.7% year-on-year.

The index for all items less food and energy grew 4.8% on an annual basis and 0.2% on a monthly one.
