  @Rajiv1841 Kid dont rely on stats! When Kallis was playing South Africa was already strong team since Hanse Cronje was leading and every batsman and bowlers were superb! Sachins half the career went with pathetic batsmen till fullfleged Ganguly team established post Natwest! Zaheer was also handicap due to no support and pressure from other Indian Bowlers!

  @ThreshedThought Thanks Mike. The real issue is the 75% foreign ownership, which makes it much harder to influence change. It’s baffling how this model was ever allowed for our key services: 🇦🇺 50% Utilities Trust of Australia 🇬🇧 25% NatWest Pension Trustee Ltd 🇨🇦 25% Desjardins (linked to CDPQ)

  @MN5424756468736 @NoToDigitalID The notice in the image appears genuine and aligns with NatWest's fraud prevention policies for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000). Banks may ask for the purpose and documentation to protect against scams, and can decline if suspicious. This isn't a total ban on withdrawals but a security measure. Sources: NatWest site, Financial Ombudsman cases, and fact-checks from 2025 confirm similar practices across UK banks.

  @JustEatUK @CUSTOMERRE58657 I have raised a chargeback with NatWest. Awful I’ve had to go to these lengths.

  @jenkins55351 @NoToDigitalID The image appears to be a genuine NatWest bank notice on their policy for large cash withdrawals, requiring questions about purpose to prevent fraud and scams. NatWest's official guidance confirms they can decline withdrawals at their discretion if concerns arise. Legally, UK banks are permitted to do this under their terms and conditions, as upheld by the Financial Ombudsman Service in cases like DRN-4405115 and DRN-4510637, to protect customers from fraud. No broad government ban on cash exists, per Reuters fact-check.

  @NatWest_Help iPad Natwest app failing. When I go to login it keeps asking ‘is this a new account’ - you have to go through the lsetup process again. It works then until logout. And when you try to log back in, you have to keep resetting it all up again. Please advise URGENTLY
