Remember i work for one that hasn't cost you a penny mate. We've had a very good year and delivered really good service on a very tight cost challange. It has also been very clear for a number of years in my Bank that bonuses are not there for 'doing the job'. They are there to reward those of us that go teh extra mile and provide service well in advance of our role/grade.

All the banks have cost me .. and everyone else a "penny mate".. your bank may have made a profit but a profit from who.? a profit from borrowing at rate and then selling at a rate..customer service?... the service your bank and all the others depends on the amount of cash the customer has or owes you.. you take great pride in stating that your bank has not gone cap n hand to the Gvernment.. do you imagine your bank would have survived when the others went to the wall?.. or are you still in the illusion that banking.. bankers that got us into this mess.. banking is the only way to run a community.. you are a banker.. my son

err, run a bank account in credit and it costs you NOTHING. despite it costing the Bank a fortune to supply you with a network of Branches, ATMs, and the hundreds ofmillions of pounds worth of infrastructure to support your 'free' banking. People believe it or not can live happily without debt, its not compulsory!!!

If YOU choose to borrow money then you are buying a service just like buying a potato. you wouldn't expect teh market lads to give them to you do you? so why expect banks to lend you money( at risk ) for no return?

Thought For The Day

It is no accident that banks resemble temples, preferably Greek, and that the supplicants who come to perform the rites of deposit and withdrawal instinctively lower their voices into the registers of awe. Even the most junior tellers acquire within weeks of their employment the officiousness of hierophants tending an eternal flame. I don't know how they become so quickly inducted into the presiding mysteries, or who instructs them in the finely articulated inflections of contempt for the laity, but somehow they learn to think of themselves as suppliers of the monetarized DNA that is the breath of life.
