Prudence

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs are updating their banking arrangements so that, instead of one account with the Bank of England there are now accounts with the Royal Bank of Scotland and CitiBank. The changeover has had its problems - some banks could not transfer the money across properly to start with.

But at least we know where the money is being dealt with. The main offices for looking after the tax money received by the Revenue are in Shipley and Cumbernauld.

There may be some questions about who is better with money, the Yorkshiremen in Bradford (the Shipley office) or the Scots in Glasgow (the Cumbernauld office), but at least we are reasonably sure the money is going to be looked after well.
