Once a month (on the last Friday in each month), various Tenterden-based professionals and business people (solicitors, accountants, estate agents, IFAs, telecom consultants, bank managers, insurance brokers, etc) get together for an informal, single-course lunch and a bit of networking
There is no need to commit to attending (nor to apologise if you cannot attend), but if you are in business in Tenterden and would like to be added to the email reminder list, let me know: send me an email at jn@justinnelson.co.uk

Dumped by the Abbey - an update
Following representations made by the Law Society to the Abbey, it appears that the preremptory letter issued to 6,000+ firms last wek is part of an exercise to invite firms to apply to joing a combined panel for the Abbey and Alliance + Leicester.

Dumped!
On Friday (in common, apparently, with a lot of other sole practitioner lawyers and low-volume conveyancers) I received a "Dear John" letter from Abbey National (or "the Abbey", as they like to be called but have not bothered to change their name to).
They have unceremoniously and without warning "dumped" me - I am, with immediate effect, no longer on their conveyancing panel for mortgage work.
No real explanation - I just don't rock their boat, apparently
I will try to engage in a dialogue with them, but don't hold out much hope
I have some theories as to what is going on, and will publish them here over time

Blooming banks!
See BBC news item (thanks, Laurence for your Tweet) - I'm glad I'm with HSBC; so far, at least, they seem to be behaving as normally and as helpfully as banks ever do!
