*trying to make a bank account*
"Oh you need a tenancy agreement if you want to make an account."
*brings one from the landlord*
"Oh this isn't accepted. Maybe you could try getting a letter from a GP to confirm your address?"
*signs up to a GP, waits a week, gets a letter from them to take to the bank*
"Oh this letter isn't accepted sorry. It needs to have a letterhead. If you can't get that, maybe get a bank statement from your Australian bank to confirm your address"
*contacts bank in Australia to change details, and send me a replacement statement with UK address*
"Oh this isn't accepted as it was sent via your Internet Banking profile. It has to be sent via mail"
*goes to GP for that letterhead letter*
"Oh it's going to be 2-3 weeks for such a letter to be done"
Honestly sick of the UK so much now and all I've tried to do is make a bank account and apply for a passport/drivers licence....

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
