@Paul I think a lot of people who would usually vote Tory did the same as you, and some usual Tory votes who wouldn't vote Refom just stayed at home and didn't vote at all.

Thanks, I'd not thought of Nationwide @leatash .
How about Nationwide great online banking you get a share of the profits each year and they are not closing branches.
Thanks @Carer . I was thinking of switching to Lloyds. My sister recently switched to Chase although she does banking on her mobile. I prefer to pay by cash or card and do online banking on my PC.
