Everything has a price and everything is negotiable. I should have thought that the -10 points could be swallowed if there were a significant price reduction. It looks like a Mexican standoff.
Fry mishandled the Grant Thornton investigation that pushed us into the -10 points and he appears to be trying to sell something that, according to Pinnacle, is not exactly as described on the tin, all in my humble opinion, of course.
It was widely reported at the time and I saw it recently through a link somewhere on this forum but it seems to have disappeared!

I still have an account but I don't use it myself. I had a dispute with them over 20 years ago about the time it took to clear payments from the NatWest and they were inflexible so I opened an account with another bank. All my business dealing now go through this new account.
