Many UK banks will issue IBANs (they are trivially calculated from the sort code and account number anyway), and payments can be made to IBANs - but for transfers within the UK, there is no need to provide an IBAN. Note that it is still p

Yes, exactly! If I gave up on my language's debugger or compiler every time I was troubleshooting something because I didn't trust it, I'd waste an absolute ton of time. I think finding a balance is important, but also not be
