Banking Adverts

I've never seen a paper today to full of apologies:

- A "sorry" from Barclays, and a statement that the customer is top priority.

- A "we're working hard to put things right" from Natwest

- A "join us we're not as corrupt as those other banks" from Nationwide.

I do feel a little sorry for Natwest, an upgrade went wrong and suddenly everything collapsed. Probably should not cut back on IT so much maybe...

Barclays, little sympathy, even though it is the investment arm that has being exposed as corrupt.

Nationwide, hope they do not get too big - even though it appears a lot of deposits are heading their way. This is the only real way for the consumer to vote, if you do not like a bank's ethics - don't bank with them.
