Know I'm about to play devil's advocate a bit here, but to be fair to the bank if your father doesn't come across as not being entirely sure what's going on, then they might well have just recommended him a product that seemed to suit - if he said he wasn't interested in getting hold of the money but just wanted it all in one place then a bond account is pretty much what he would want even with that low interest rate (assuming better than a current/savings account)?
I'd be a bit more pissed off that after you explained to them that he was "getting on a bit" they tried to charge you £453, but at least it got sorted out properly in the end!
