    Cricketopia (@CricketopiaCom) reported

    “How can a gora hit me?” A heated dressing-room clash between Sehwag & John Wright during the 2002 NatWest Series. “I had been dismissed playing big shots in the last three-four outings. John Wright told me to ‘just play and bat 40 overs and score a fifty, I don’t want to lose you’. I didn’t know much English back then and didn’t realise he was referring to me getting dropped from the side.” Sehwag still played his natural game and was dismissed attempting a big shot. “When I came back to the dressing room, he grabbed me by the collar and pushed me towards a chair.” “I got so angry, I went straight to Rajeev Shukla ji and told him I’m heading back home. He asked me what happened. I told him, ‘that gora hit me. How can a gora hit me?’” Rajeev Shukla later intervened to calm the situation (with the help of Sachin Tendulkar) with Sehwag insisting on an apology before reconciling.

    @ukboomers 1983 and my long standing bank manager turned down my loan application. Went to house builder and put a £100 deposit on a 2 bed semi then he called NatWest and I got accepted that day. Six weeks later got the keys. Easy peasy

    @MartinSLewis Mortgage question - my fixed rate is up end of June with NatWest 🥲 Got 7 years left. Fix or tracker ?

    Been out to buy a phone packet to allow me to ring NatWest and ask why no transactions are showing on my account today. The guy effectively said 'it's a general problem'. No apology, no suggestion of when it might be resolved, no reassurance that money was safe. British tax-

    @NatWest_Help customer service at natwest is dead. Got a platinum account that's useless. The insurance it comes with is worthless. Rang to complain, and they transferred me to the insurer I was complaining about. They tried to fob me off by transferring me to someone else. Joke.

    @NatwestB @TunnelGuruVPN NatWest bank Bedford, what a shower of ****. Me and my Mrs have banked with this lot for 30+ years and we cannot even take our own cash out in large amounts! Twice we had meetings totalling about 4 hours and they ask the same questions and we answer every one but still no cash.

    @NatWest_Help 2/2 problems. I've contacted HMRC, they said it's not a problem at their end, must be NatWest as I can log in, but then approval screen is blank. Is this a known issue? Please ask your I.T. to fix it. Been waiting for a reply in app customer service for over 10 hrs

    @afneil Almost like you deliberately choose to misinterpret something. If a teller or csa at a NatWest did their shift reeking of alcohol, particularly when dealing with customers, they would be disciplined. Working in a bank doesn’t just mean Decaprio in wolf of Wall Street.

    @AutoInfatuation No complaints with our Ltd one through Mettle. Owned by NatWest provides free access to FreeAgent accounting software. Also have the other business setup with Starling Business. The scary stories of Revolut accounts being shut constantly put me off therefor didn’t look at it.

    @exRAF_Al @miriam_cates @WilliamClouston finalizing the NatWest/RBS sale at such a significant loss, Labour government isn't just balancing books; they are erasing the evidence. Once the shares are gone, the "investment" is over, and the loss becomes a legacy issue.

    @McNicol94 @NatWest_Help Same here. Two different atms. And Post Office. NatWest phone Adviser said it must be my card. Tried to issue a replacement card and couldn’t action that either. What’s happening @NatWest_Help

    10+ years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. Here's what I learned: Bad product flows can cost thousands, or even millions, in lost revenue. Regardless of company size. What kills conversions in big-name products does the same for startups: - Onboarding that loses people in the first 60 secs - Pricing pages that confuse instead of convert - Sign-up flows that cause decision fatigue I’ve seen that when you fix these - you get more from the traffic you already have. Now I build those same systems for funded startups - so they keep the users they've already paid to get.

    @Blokeonabike2 @RupertLowe10 I quit Natwest years ago for their atrocious service. Took me years to close an empty ISA despite contacting them several time. I opened a personal account with Starling so I could have a business account with them. Comes with free, simple invoicing/bookkeeping system too.

    @ikeijeh @MetroUK Until quite recently the City had done a good job of resisting ugly modern towers (with the exception of Natwest Tower). And then suddenly in the early 00s the gloves were off and it became a free for all. Was this down to any one individual?

    @NatWest_Help Hello! 👋 Hope all is well in Natwest towers. I need to give my employer my branch info, It was Prestwich, which closed, now its Cheetham Hill which is closing. I was told I can use the Bolton Service Centre but thats closed. Is it Chatham or Head office? I give?

    @JamesMelville Agreed. My Mum is 94. Her savings account is with NatWest but she can’t access it because she doesn’t bank online or have the app. NatWest won’t accept my POA because it’s not digital. Absolutely no solution. She can’t access her own savings

    @0ldEnglishman @iforgotthefall Literally nowhere does that say anything about student loans. No matter how much you wanna grok something, you can’t access a student loan unless you’re British or settled. If NatWest wanna loan a Bulgarian £10k than that’s on them. Not the tax payer.

    @NatWest_Help NatWest is awful. My partner applied online 6 weeks ago for control over his mum's account (she has dementia). He has power of attorney. He waited a month. No joy. He phoned 3 times. No joy. He went to the branch. No joy. You WILL NOT help him. Utter rubbish. 😡
