Managing the Bank Manager

The bank has just gone down in my estimation.
This morning Hervè sent me an email asking that I pay the last invoices he gave me.
This was a surprise as I had sent the invoices and instructions to pay them to the bank ages ago. So I tried to phone the bank but could not speak to the right person so I sent them an email asking what had happened and enclosing a copy of the email requesting payment.
Now I get an email saying "Oh yes I made a mistake and they haven't been paid but I will pay them today." ????

Great, I cant trust the bank to pay the invoices. So in the future the bank will need chasing each day to ensure the invoices are actually paid.

Only in France!
