Anyone with an account at the Royal Bank of Scotland will have received
a note with their most recent bank statement giving information about
their Complaints and Compliments leaflets, which are now to hand in
branches.
When I got mine, I unfortunately forgot that I had recently been charged
8 pounds for being 25 pounds overdrawn for 3 days, and that a few days
after that I had been charged 25.60 pounds for 25 Irish pounds' worth of
Irish currency, worth 22.75 UK pounds. So I wrote `Why can't we have left
handed cheque books?' on my form and returned it.
Seems a reasonable request to me. Anyone else want to add their voice
to mine?

I remember asking about this in some English bank some eight or ten years
ago. The staff thought it was extremely funny.
Some of the banks (TSB perhaps) have cheque stubs that you write parallel
to the spine rather than away from it, which is a reasonable move...

If so, then it shows how little they understand the issue. A left
handed cheque book would have the stubs on the right of each cheque and
the signature space on the left.
