It is actually dependent upon the procedures of the individual bank. I have bank accounts at three local banks, and each has a different...
I agree with you on these points, especially with the issue of "standards". But, I would have to say that the statement: is a bit skew. To...
Although I disagree with the grades that I have seen on the vast majority of TPG slabs, I would not say that they are "wrong". This is a point on...
That older saying went further than just the first sentence. ;) If you take the context all the way through you end up with "You hypocrite,...
