I can remember the history of that site quite roughly. Around 2001-2 I was
denied access with Netscape. The guys at NatWest didn't even know what
Mozilla was. I don't know about Opera, but I only tried it around 2003. To
use Mozilla, I needed to spoof the agent using a special extension. At some
stage, though I am am not sure when, Mozilla was accepted (2003 or 2004)
and Mozilla Firefox quite naturally was permitted access too (all without
any spoofing.
I happily join you guys when it comes to the mocking. I will say the same
when their systems (terminals, ATM's, etc.) go down. It is about time they
used proper software and increased their awareness of a world that extends
beyond buggy Internet Explorer 6 and Windows 2000. Maybe they could also
provide me with better service by spending less time patching up their
machines and increase my interest rates by shipping less money to Redmond.
