This Would be Funny

If it wasn't such a serious issue.

Has anyone else almost vomited every time they see those patronising bastards in the Nat West advert? Its the one where the Nat West employees (not for long - Im sure they'll all be out of a job soon!) are giving shit advice to their customers. One of them even has the audacity to suggest that one of her customers cuts down on food to save money because he's too fat! I would have slapped the bitch!

Well, let me point out that Nat West are owned by The Royal Bank of Scotland. This is the same bank that has recently announced losses of around 7-8 billion quid - the group also announced writedowns on assets (primarily linked to the ill advised take over of ABN-Ambro) of around twenty billion pounds. The combined total of £28 billion is the biggest ever annual loss in UK corporate history.

So, excuse me if I scoff at the advert that tries to advise us on what to do with our cash!
