I opened a regular HSBC account because I explained to the woman my situation and that is all she offered me. She never even mentioned this other type.
My mother owns a company and they deal with HSBC and told me that her banker said she could open a UK account for me no problem... I guess that is what she meant.
Thank you for that advice!

Well, the way I see it, I am not really lying. The government knows who I am staying with.. said it straight out on the application for the working holidaymaker visa.. and I do intend to travel some more. Though it does suck having limited rights there. Though from what I can tell of this fiancee visa, they are even more restricted until marriage.
Hopefully the authorities don't read this forum... then I am screwed.
I did go to one building society.. and they gave the same critereon as the banks did. However, I had no idea about the post office! Maybe I will try that. After all, I spend a lot of time in there posting crisps back to everyone here. :/
