I think she's probably taking on fewer commitments due to her health issues

That means no talk on site about Scottish Independence, Brexit or immigration. There will be microphones in the hook up boxes and anyone offending will be transferred to the Coventry site.

That'll be a pity, I like enraging the easily stirred. Something to do when I've read all the interesting posts.

I did consider changing the first letter.

A Tanker is useful.......

Jim are you writing a new letter to the new chairman about the pricing transparency / expensive site fees as presuming Grenville hasn't replied to your previous price note I doubt it'll happen now!

Being a banker he’ll close your membership if he doesn’t like your politics

 

[dazandandrea]

Local sites will be closed but it will be for your benefit.
Wardens will be sacked and foreign call centres will be used for booking in.

 

[cyberyacht]

I hope he takes more care of his Royal Doulton when pitching up.

 

[bobnick]

Wait for about 74 pages of T&Cs when he gets going.

No, only one line.

Your problem is your problem, not ours.

Tbh if he implements the banking customer code all won’t be bad. That’s the code from FCA of not acting against your customer and members best interests.

 

[maison]

Tell that to Nigel Farage or many (legitimate) serving MPs.

Some Vicars and Bowling Clubs have all had their Accounts closed because the Banks didn’t agree with their philosophies.

Oh indeed, the de-banking is a problem not arguing -> but it is in the code of practice, which is why the Natwest heads had no choice but to go -> Ditto discussing things about accounts to media is clearly against above code.

Arguably a chat we've had in the office (for a banking client) is that the branch closures can't really continue now the FCA has regulated customer need over anything else -> so similar to the railway ticket offices expect this customer code to stop any more major closure programs.

(I may work for a banking client in conflict of interest). Not all bankers are bad but some definitely are.

In positives I doubt a banking head of the CAMC would allow them to sign a stupidly expensive electric contract again (which I think is the true reason for many of the post 2021 price ranges). One thing I know from work is bankers negotiate any contract to the lowest it possibly can be and I also know my current place didn't sign up for even a year of stupidly expensive electric.
