The (B)ankers at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
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.

My Prime Minister-and yours-Tony Bl(ia)r
Is a criminal.
On Thursday,it transpires that the Leader of the Country,Tony Bl(ia)r was questioned by police investigating the cash for honours affair.
Bl(ia)r is the first Prime Minister to be investigated by police whilst in public office.It is reported that Bl(ia)r denied any knowledge of Peerages being offered for donations/loans to the Labour Party.
What he did do was time the police questioning to coincide with the release of the Steven's inquiry into Princess Diana's death.Thus diverting media interest away from the row that is causing considerable embaressment to himself and the Party.
While I have no axe to grind over this matter,believing that all Peerages offered by any Government is a 'Thank You' to their rich mates.It still leaves Tony Bl(ia)r isolated and deep in the shit concerning the legality of the Iraq war.
Tony Bl(ia)r began an illegal war.All the reasons he gave for going to war have proved to be false.
Why is he not being questioned for lying to the British people and the rest of the Government.
My Prime Minister-and yours-Tony Bl(ia)r is a WAR CRIMINAL.
Remove him from power so we can bring a quick end to the bloody chaos that we have created in Iraq.
