Nearly perfect!

I was keeping the 2 minutes silence for Rememberance Day on 11/11/20 at 11am when the branch rang me I did not answer but after The Last Post from The Cenotaph had sounded I did 1471 and phoned the number they gave me to see who had called. It was the Newbury Building Society. Otherwise the service has been excellent. Reviewed on: 16th November 2020
