Scots leave their bank statements unopened

ALMOST half of all Scots leave their bank statements unopened as they refuse to face up to the state of their finances.

A poll by Barclays found Scots were the most likely people in the UK to ignore their monthly paperwork from their bank.

However, the survey found "financial ostriches" across Britain with an average of one in three people not opening their statements.
