Well I expect its some awful default setting in the ever so helpful

Electronic bills/bank statements are OK but much prefer paper ones,
particulary for card/bank statements. I can tick off the entries as
being correct, write on the bill a pay by date and amount, place it
on the heap of others for payment to be set up next time I log into
online banking.

Trouble is the amount of paper you get with a paper bill thses days
is stupid and most of it useless "What is a kWHr?" "How can I save
energy?" etc. The core billing/statement information is all on a
single sheet, one or two other sheets go straight for recycling...
All I want are the facts, for a lecky bill that would fit into 1/3 of
a single side of A4, the upper 1/2 having address's, the lower 1/3
the paying in slip.

What amusses me is Barclays bank statements they are now at least
three sheets (only one useful). I remember a good few years ago, they
cut back paper statements to just to just the statement, this well
before electronic ones were available.

WTF can't companies offer a short form option of paper
bills/statements containing just the facts? It has to be opt in, so
those without net access (thus not able to set and option or download
a bill) get the "full" version by default.
