A firend is losing his job
Started in a small finance company which was bought ect ect
Been given the order of the boot by the overpaid boss
LloydsTSB is cutting another 15,000 jobs but will not be shutting branches as part of its strategic review. The main targets will be back office staff, a press officer confirmed but was unable to give further details. It is not shutting branches except as part of Project Verde – the EU-mandated scheme to sell off 632 branches …
After many years as a loyal customer I did what they say not many people do and moved banks (people don't do this for good reason even with the new easy move schemes it is a pain in the arse).
Lloyds just keep piling fees on fees on fees onto everyday things and I had had enough.
Moved personal and business accounts as far away from them as possible. Bloody money grabbing gits.
Right sorry just had to get that off my chest.
It was his insane idea to save Scottish jobs with English money that did for Lloyds. It was in good shape. I've heard on the grapevine that Balls and Brown had the Lloyds board of directors in meetings for 24 hours straight, bullying them to take on HBOS. Make of that rumour what you will.
Just switched my account to Handelsbanken. Real service and a real bank manager who makes real decisions. What an absolute delight.

They just outright steal your money and then charge you for the privilege. They also have the worst customer rating of any bank in the country. They also bought Alliance & Leicester out an are well on their way to reform that bank in their own money grabbing image.
Thank goodness we bought the banks out and now have a nice competitive market with clearly defined differences between the all the banks
ohh wait that's right
Strikes. Hmmm are the two related?
