Ah, here I am again, yes, I'm new to all this...you see yesterday I drafted my first half blog. The bones of which were that I'd discovered a rear lower tooth that had indeed worked loose from frustrated gnashing of my teeth in the night. A bit like one of the old nights out, the difference being that I still had money in my wallet when I awoke.
Like anything, it's a long painful learning process, my drafted half blog has been lost in the ethersphere, I suspect for good. I can detect you all tutting right now, I'm a bit of a ludite really but hey, I'm having a go. The reason for my blogs are mainly to get things of my chest and to reveal a little of my world to those who may be interested. If you're not, then why are you reading?
So, I'll cut to todays chase....Banks, no, not Banksy the artist, not Gordon Banks the ex Leicester and England Goalkeeper. Our high street banks, yes, the robbin' ba$tard$, those banks that have been ripping us off quite cheerfully for year upon down trodden year. Making out that they're doing us a favour, taking 'ere, snaffling there, subtracting here, interest there. Now, if anyone out there still believes all of the bullshit that says these guys are out for our interest (s), that they are "at our service", that they "like to say yes", that they're "the local bank", that "I'm with the Woolwich", 'n all that. Well, it's time to take heed.
Enough is enough, apparently we can now go to war on these high street criminals dressed up as friends. Visit moneysavingexpert.com, (and before you start thinking, hey up, he's trying to make a buck), this is something I saw on page 2 of today's Independent, for all of you real ludites just google that name and you will find the link. Then, simply study your bank statement and if you've been charged for items which, really you think are not your fault and you've defaulted due to the inflexibility of their system then you can go in there fully armed. (not literally, please)
Yes, be assertive but don't be aggressive...it's not Sharon, the tellers fault but the management and they're the ones who you need to be 'avin' it out with.
Time for a cuppa?, make mine a large one...
Over and out...
