Comment on First Direct Web Site by Al

I totally agree. The payment system on first direct was until a few days ago the worst I had ever seen in my life. To put it bluntly, it seemed to have been designed by 11 year-olds. Aside from your tax payment example (which I have encountered as well, annoyed the heck out of me and I’ve complained about more than once), I’ve also been extremely annoyed by the fact that regular payments to the same payee but with changing reference numbers had to be re-entered from scratch each time you made a payment. You have to try really hard to come up with an idiotic design like that, if you ask me. The other online bank I’ve been using since the 90s would have gone out of business with an online payment system of such a low standard. Finally, in 2013, first direct are about as user friendly as other banks were in the early days of the internet already.
Other than their tech incompetence, I quite like first direct! ;-)

I don’t know exactly how I came across your blog but I’ve had a flick through and feel that I should let you know that the forth radiohead albums onwards are all amazing. The problem is you have to listen to them 10 times before it dawns on you. Try listening to them in the background or something until you are sort of familar with the songs and then when you actually sit down and listen to them in there entirety you will realise just how good they are.
