Ian, you've just reminded me !
When I went in last week to get some cash and I was first approached by a
bank employee trying to get me to have one of these cards, I asked her if my
husband would qualify ? I said I don't expect you can tell me that because
of Data Protection. She said, no that's ok. She looked up his details and
said no, he wouldn't qualify, as he's already got one of our cards.
