  @Woodywudpeck Maybe pinch a few NatWest for longer term as looks like they’re down 10%, or maybe will wait to see if they fall a bit more the next few trading days. #indecisive

  @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup anyone wanting any currency then don’t order from NatWest. Purchased currency 1st December, they didn’t deliver in time and I’m still awaiting refund. Theft at its best. Customer services are useless.Personal and business accounts to be moved shortly.

  Just so all you little guys with the big accounts know, Man Utd ain’t losing today. And you can take that to NatWest/First Direct whatever bank you choose that offers a competitive interest rate on personal ISAs up to £20k limit per customer

  @KatieW456938 Thanks for raising these points. We’ve checked and the revised FAQs were not shared with the Unite NatWest reps in advance of publication but Unite will raise these issues on Monday. A Unite FAQ set was issued this afternoon.

  @DoctorLFC Natwest Final, I had cried when we were 5 down for 150 and then Yuvi and Kaif pulled it off.

  @Lifeofdavie_ Most banks are shutting down due to 90% automation of processes. I have an account with NatWest, the branch in my town has only 2 staff: One teller/customer advisor and Branch Manager/Lead. Machine to deposit coins, cash in, pin resets, cheques scanners, digitised processes!

  @robertmdaws Early 80s NatWest Leeds Sunday League team wore the yellow away kit. Awful scratchy polyester thing.

  Bit of a strange reaction to NatWest purchase of Evelyn Partners - make it make sense - 10% down?
