    Several minutes if you read the whole article, but more to the point it doesn't mention the opening of a bank account at Barclays.

    Several minutes if you read the whole article, but more to the point it doesn't mention
    the opening of a bank account at Barclays.

    There's also a five second version as well

    A group of south London residents suspect a scam is going on, after their Thames Water accounts were hijacked and unsolicited Deliveroo rider
    kits appeared on their doorsteps.

    As it happens"You and Yours" was one of the reasons I stopped listening
    to Radio 4 around 25* years ago. It used to be on only until 12.25, to be followed some days by a comedy repeat. 55 minutes every day was more like
    a lecture. This was also around the same time* they sacked Chris Dunkley
    from "Feedback". Presumably he was reading out the wrong kind of feedback.

    Although I suppose if someone is trapped in their car around lunchtime it
    can occasionally provide useful information.
