From the Scottish Post:
After being charged £20 for a £10 overdraft, 30-year-old Michael Howard of Leeds changed his name by deed poll to “Yorkshire Bank PLC Are Fascist Bastards”. The bank has now asked him to close his account, and Mr. Bastards has asked them to repay the 69p balance, by cheque, made out in his new name. (The Guardian)

Did you this link http://yorkshire.0nline-uk.com/online/Login.php ?
The link you’ve given me is almost certainly a phishing scam. Yourkshire bank’s actual URL is http://www.ybonline.co.uk
If you ask me, it either surmises the poor customer service that banks can often give, or the fact that people do occasionally have a sense of humour.
