'Will iam not' tries to be funny but 'Funny heis not'.

And I guess your avatar is YOUR attempt at being funny.

Humour is a very personal thing, some folk loved Tommy Cooper, others could not stand him. (I loved him....bubum!)

I'll be honest, I thought from all of your posts I've read, that you were not a Brit.

If you're a blue AND from Ashton, then you should find my avatar hilarious 😂

No I am an Englishman. Did you notice any spelling or grammar mistakes in my posts, or the stick I get being called a Grammar Nazi if I correct someone.

Why would Ashtonians find your avatar hilarious, he helped Woolwich Arsenal to survive in the early 20th.

Great, must be the 40 years I spent touring Scandinavia and Europe for 40 years in a band. is why my English is so good. And learning to communicate properly without rushing and, oh yes, O & A Level English Language and Literature at Ashton Grammar School, as well as German and French helped.

My English Grandma passed away in 1965! 555

Anyone know if bank details can be changed by email? I have 2 addresses for them on file - [email protected] OR dwponline.helpdesk (at) dwp.gov.uk

Nope, you have to call the IPC by phone for this, I'm afraid. Or alternatively send them a snail mail letter with details of the change and keep your fingers firmly crossed that implementation will finally be achieved by the year 2570 (AD, not BE, that is).🙁

I was in touch with DWP alot in 2025 to sort out two issues.

They are not always quick to respond, but I used this email successfully:

[email protected]

Send an email, if no response after a week then send another.

I also called DWP several times. A lot of the staff who answer aren't up to much, take your details and pass it on, but I was lucky a few times with helpful staff. Call at 8am uk to get through quickest.

Secret is don't give up.
