    The Banks' Postcode is a bit suspect...

    Royal Mail says...
    Unfortunately we could not find this postcode. Please check it. If the postcode is correct but we still can’t find it, please read the help below to find out what to do.

    Can't be getting much post then.

    A Google search for "Gorsfield Bank" gives this thread as the top entry too

    I loved their website so much I did some digging;

    Click About Us, then click History. Read and laugh at how eloquent it sounds in comparison to the other tripe on the site.

    Now click the link here and read.

    I wonder if they should be notified?

    This will help to activated your account.

    I think the flood of interest has killed their server.
