Little Britain must of got the phrase ‘computer says no' from NatWest'. Business and personal mobile banking customers for Natwest, RBS, and Ulster Bank are today experiencing problems A second said: ‘So pleased I opened a new account with someone else on Tuesday. Natwest are useless.'  A third spoke for many, stating: ‘Hey Natwest, instead of giving your useless bosses at the top of Natwest tower massive bonuses, try employing IT people who actually know what they are doing.'  The RBS-Natwest group paid bonuses totalling £607 million for 2012 despite amassing losses of some £5.2billion. The mobile banking App which operates on the Android software system used by Samsung and others was restored around lunchtime yesterday.  However, it took more than an hour longer to reinstate the service to customers who log in through Apple's iPhone and iPad. Last summer, a major computer system failure that locked millions out of current accounts cost the bank some £175 million in compensation. In October, NatWest had to suspend a mobile phone banking App feature called GetCash, after the service was subject to a spate of ‘phishing' attacks by fraudsters. The GetCash service, which allows customers to withdraw cash without using a debit card, was later re-instated after security was beefed up. Just three weeks ago a hardware fault prevented customers from using cash machines and also affected online and telephone banking services. The bank has been heavily promoting the benefits of its mobile phone banking App. It recently unveiled a feature called Pay Your Contacts, which allows customers to send payments of up to £100 to anyone with a Visa card, by entering their mobile number. Mobile banking users took to Twitter to ask what was happening A spokeswoman for consumer group Which? said the problems will raise wider questions about ‘how robust and up to date banks' IT systems are'. She said: ‘Consumers and businesses alike rely on mobile banking services to access their accounts and consumers will rightly want to be assured that their money is accessible and safe at all times.'  Laura Willoughby, of the Move your Money campaign group, said: ‘Coming just weeks after the last IT failure, this really is the last straw for customers fed up with such unhelpful banking. RBS is not only too big to fail, but too big to provide proper customer service as well.'  RBS blamed a technical problem that was restricted to the mobile Apps and apologised to customers for the inconvenience.

A Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? contestant swore in frustration on last night's episode after losing £15,000. Justin Beattie, from Bristol, was so stunned to learn he would be leaving the ITV competition with just £1,000 that he dropped an expletive in a show first, shocking host Jeremy Clarkson. The player, who spent 25 years as a submarine safety engineer and was aiming to open a pub with his potential winnings, was sent home when the presenter asked: 'Which sportsman retired aged just 26, before making an unsuccessful return to competition eight years later?' Justin had a choice of four answers, including Bjorn Borg, Alain Prost, George Foreman and Carl Lewis. But Justin answered the £32,000 question wrong while he still had all four lifelines remaining, guessing Carl Lewis instead of correctly saying Bjorn Borg.  The contestant walked away with just £1,000 after failing to secure his £16,000 win with a safety net before trying the £32,000 question.  Scroll down for all the questions and answers Justin Beattie (pictured), from Bristol, was so stunned he would be leaving the ITV competition with just £1,000 that he dropped an expletive in a show first, shocking host Jeremy Clarkson Here is my web-site :: joker369
