Hello Royal Bank . Received an interesting letter, after 54 yrs & multiple business & personal banking, RBS decided to “cease our banking relationship”, but “are not able to discuss this decision with you or provide any further information”. Is this normal customer service?

FFS Bank of Scotland When a cusomer requests a replacement debit card then there is probably some urgency abot the matter. So why do you send it out second class? #beenaweek #crapservice #stillwaiting #timetochangebanks

What is wrong with Bank of Scotland ? Requested a new debit card more than three weeks ago. Still waiting. Online systems totally useless. A once great bank now a total shit show.

Strange that there is no award for Lou Macari in the New Year’s honours. Again. It's so wrong. Macari deserves to be honoured not only for services to football but especially for services to the community and tending to the homeless in Stoke-on-Trent. He embodies everything an

It's been a sign of increasing Scottish maturity not to treat Calcutta Cup match as the be-all and end-all of a campaign. This time, though, there's little choice but to lean into how big Twickenham is for this 6N in the round Times Sport The Times and The Sunday Times Scotland thetimes.com/article/81d0dd…

Magnificent cri de coeur from Stephen Jones , who cares more for his country's rugby culture than any number of WRU jobsworths and no-marks ever have. #nailsIt thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

Deserved win for Ireland but wonderful to see Wales make a game of it. The Championship is nothing without a strong Welsh side.

Deserved win and title for France. But tainted by feeble officials who think a deliberate head butt is ok. Asterisks all over France's achievements.

The Prem in England is exciting but moribund and going nowhere. As an initiative going forward, with promotion and relegation disgracefully stopped yet again by frightened men, all they can think of is to have separate ends for each set of fans. It is absolutely pitiful.

So Peato Mauvaka cops a three-game ban for his off-the-ball assault on Ben White. Let's hope the match officials who watched endless, lurid replays, but still bottled it and chickened out with a yellow card, are absent for a lot longer.

Some lovely rugby being played by both Scotland and Wales in their Women's 6 Nations clash. But the spectacle is being ruined by the pompous interventions of an overbearing, mansplaining TMO .
