Before internet banking we had to wait 24 hours before going to the bank and looking at our account. Fortunately for us, we always have enough in another account to back up the business one. Knowing the account is down is therefore very useful to us.

So thanks for the sarcasm and the assassins laugh that came with it! Good for you for being able to know your account to your nearest tenner. Not everyone however, lives in your world.

Give over, I wasn't being sarcastic, I was simply stating what I think.
Nothing to do with people running their business or otherwise.
Might be an age thing, we were brought up to keep an eye on our cash, old habits die hard.
Different people have different banking habits
