Today's Interaction With My Dad
This morning a bank statement arrived, not my current account but a savings one. I saw the envelope and left it untouched on the kitchen worktop (where it was to begin with). This afternoon, I noticed the said envelope had gone AWOL.
"Where's that envelope that was on here this morning?"
"What envelope?"
"The one with my bank statement in"
"I didn't know it was a bank statement"
"Well where is it?
"I think I may have put it through the shredder"
"Think?"
"Er, I'll have a look for it now"
INTERLUDE - I GO OUT - COME BACK
"Where's my bank statement?"
"I shredded it"
"How could you do that?"
"I thought it was something about computers"
"You could have checked with me"
SNARLS - INTERLUDE
"What's a matter now?"
"I'm annoyed with you"
INTERLUDE
"See, this is how much you have in your account," passing me a shredded piece of paper.
"Some shredder that is"
GOES AWAY
"See, the last payment was 20 July and this is the interest you've earned"
"Bloody useless shredder. Next time shred the other way".

Is this the bit where I say "online banking rocks"?...or maybe not....

Ahead of you, its an Egg account. :P (The green envelope will explain dad's junk mail confusion). First ever paper statement (in a year), thus just wanted to check it out.
(Only opened the acnt for the 'free' tenner, now using it for my South Africa savings).

Correct! Start saving, and be there.
