So what banks have sensible web interfaces that aren't a total PITA?

Well of all that I have tried so far (probably half a dozen or more of
the high street big names, de-mutulaised building socs, and some of the
internet only ones) I would say that Barclays have the best online front
end by far. You can do most stuff relatively easily. However they do
have a timeout[1] of about 10 mins or so IIRC.

[1] As I am sure you are aware there are technical reasons for only
maintaining a web session for a relatively short period of time -
especially if you plan to do it for lots of sessions. You will quickly
run out of server resources if you do not take care.

I find this annoying too. It's just that with most banks the timeout
seems to be a bit too short. 20 to 30 minutes would be more
reasonable.
