After returning from Scotland was for me to get rid of daily life. Moment: I have this really an everyday?? Well, at least I still had to pay a bill for my English mobile phone contract from T-Mobile (350 free minutes + unlimited SMS = 15 pounds / month). Since I wanted to open a bank account in England, I've decided the contract after receipt of an invoice to pay. I wanted that then pay on a bank, for what would, however, a fee of 5 pounds are collected. The friendly woman at the counter told me then recommended, but simply to open a Bankkonte. I need only submit my passport and my ID card with my German address. Is how easy it would. The next day I went to the bank and persons with ID to open an account. Since I had such auf'nem office ne number and wait until I came to draw the series. After about 20 minutes (on my list number was specified with the wait time 17-22 minutes), I told my clerk with that but I still need a letter from the university, where my German and my English address is confirmed. He could even tell me exactly to which staff of the university I go and in which the building is to get the letter. Unfortunately, he had changed the address, and I ran to the wrong building. The university buildings are in fact not all on the main campus, but are scattered throughout Kingston. So we went home briefly to nachzuschauen, find the "right" building really is. After I had it figured out and then I had already arrived there after a minute the desired letter in his hand. Then I was able to open an account. But although my university has confirmed my English address, I could open a "normal" account, as this still an official "proof of address" such as a gas bill that is addressed to my name to my English address is required. So I have now for the time being a "Passport" account, which differs only in one or two characteristics that I do not need anyway.
