Today is my stolen daughters Birthday.

Happy Birthday,Grace.

I wish you Love Light and Peace wherever you are !

Continuing the theme of naming and shaming Banks.

This week.Ill be mostly slagging off Lloyds/Tsb.

For the last three weeks I have been receiving phone calls from their call centre in India asking to speak to my partner.

I have patiently explained,that due to their outrageous treatment of her 18 months ago concerning changing her account,she wants nothing more to do with them.
They thank me for my explanation,then ring me a few days later !?

Sunday afternoon,I received another call.

Again,I explained why she will never use their services,but the person kept interupting me.
After the third time,I got annoyed and told him the rules of conversation.
(one person speaks while the other listens,then vice versa).

He apologised and we started again.

A few seconds later,he asked me a question then butted in when I tried to answer.

I hung up !

I will happily speak to anyone-even on a sunday.

But,please,if you want to speak to me allow me to finish a sentence.

We all know that MRSA is rampant in our hospitals and the dangers it brings.
But little information is given to the fact of its existence outside in our enviroment.

In Texas,America,there are reports that 200 children,who suffered small cuts and grazes whilst out playing have now contracted the super-bug.

If its happening in the USA,then you can bet that it is/will be happening here.

Why are we not being warned ??

I have always trusted Banks.

Over the years,I have sometimes handed over more money than I actually wanted to pay in.The cashiers have always pointed out my mistake,bless them.

Just after Christmas,I had cause to pay some money into the Royal Bank of Scotland via a paying-in book.

The young man took the book,checked the details and counted the money.Something felt strange and I counted along with him.I had given him £5 too much.

I said my apologies and told him of my error.

"No.No mistake",the cashier replied. He even counted it again for me."All correct".

Luckily,the paying-in book showed only one £5 to be paid.I had given him two.

Without a word,he handed me the £5 back.

I was dismayed.It was obvious he knew and was trying it on.Twat !

My thought was-how many people like me have been conned ? I never get my money out till I get to the cashier and then fumble quickly because of the queues. I see older people struggle too.

Now,I no longer trust Banks,especially this particular Royal Bank of Scotland.
