Control it for goodness saie

My husband (and we have shared banking facilities) runs a big business. We can quite literally have thousands of pounds going into one of those accounts in a day and spend thousands out of that account another day. Whilst we know what we spend, we have companies saying they've made a transfer when they haven't. In this day and age we can check that transfer in minutes. 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.
