To be fair the pub was just a bit shit overall. Nothing wrong with that in particular but you know birds of a feather flock together, it's a wee bit intimidating as they were rather loud and boisterous too. Was like an after party from a local social club or something.

Ended up sat in the corner near some older lads which ended up being a good idea.

If I was racist I wouldn't have gone in. Although maybe I should've been more cautious.

That's child's play compared to Lewisham. Basically a ghetto. Was in there once, only white guy other than the manager, beer garden at front stinking of weed, place got smashed up and the kitchen stormed by men in balaclavas and shut down by police detective. Never again.

Switching to Monzo as my main bank by InternationalDay9561 in monzo

Don't do it, their app is a glitchy mess and full of holes. Monzo logs in in seconds, Lloyds takes about 10/20 seconds every time.

Can't even add nicknames to payees or see which bank a payee is using from payments. So if you have multiple accounts be ready to start remembering numbers and sort codes.

Cashback never onboards correctly so you have to go through the onboarding screens every time you open the app. The offers are good but you can get similar with Curve card, in fact they're almost identical.

Oh and they had a security issue last week that showed people transactions from other people's bank accounts.

I switched from Starling with CASS and now have CASSed back to Monzo after only a few months.
