Re: EDP CHARGES

It could possibly be that your electricity meter is no longer working properly, if it is of the old type (with a turning wheel).

a good local bank?

We are not too happy with our current bank which insists that one buys their house insurance when one just wants to open a simple current account, so we are thinking of switching to a new bank... Does anybody have recommendations for a good bank (good conditions, no nonsense), with an office in Carv...
