96 pages + piece of paper = 97 signatures. Each signed 7 times = 679 signatures? :D

Have you tried opening a bank account in England recently? We were in over an hour opening a bank account for our latest grandchild. Not much difference in the procedure over here really.

Try Nationwide in the UK - 20 minutes to open an account and they dont charge to draw money over here.

If your a foreigner in the UK then opening a bank account can take up to 6 months. I guess we are lucky here that we can open an account within a few hours and only sign every page on a book.

I can confirm what banker says. Opened one with him 2 weeks ago and only 3 signatures required.
