Royal Bank Of Scotland

RBS - "Peashaq, you have gone over your agreed overdraft limit by 1p, we are now charging you £6 per day for this privilege."
P - "Any chance of a small loan to reduce my overdraft?"
RBS - "No, we have responsibilities towards our shareholders."
Inland Revenue - "Peashaq, we are taking some of the tax you have paid to give to the RBS, you are now a shareholder."
P - "RBS, I'm a shareholder, give me a loan of the 1p."
RBS - Go away, we've got to concentrate on the millions we are giving ourselves."
P - "Very sorry to have bothered you."

DTcrosswordfan - an ode there somewhere?

Finding it hard to identify a question in there (hint : the site is called Answerbank), or is it merely an irrational rant?

[peashaq]

buildersmate - sorry, I'm new to the site and my comment was meant to relate to a previous comment in finance re the RBS - (hint - note the capital 'B')

[factor-fiction]

There's quite a lot of drivel written on here about RBS on here. Yes I accept that there has been political naivety But considering we will all benefit from its success, and many jobs are dependent on its success, a lot of people in the press, politicians and in the general public generally seem to want to demoralise all its staff and managers, discourage its attempts to succeed, expect it to operate in a different way to its competitors and continually interfere in the way it is run.

Well put, F30, though I'd have shortened your reply to the first 9 words only.

[peashaq]

factor30 - political naivete? - it's theft.
buildersmate - you are one of the contributors so I suppose you know what you're talking about.
