Will be interesting to see if any other media outlets, such as the BBC and ITN pick up on this. Would perhaps be a good way of increasing public pressure ?

The thing that seems to get me, is Barclays seem to be one of these companies that see all the other Banks scaling down their operations in these kind of places and rather than thinking "maybe we should do the same too" they think "oh, how wonderful, no competition KERCHING"

| Why would they do that when they can report on how Heather Mills has managed to frak up her chances of getting a decent divorce settlement?

Thats actually the one thing i agreed with that woman about when she went on her rant. We should have responsible Journalism in this country and we should be told about things that matter rather than pathetic non-stories about total nonentities.

Barclays have always been ***** haven't they?
| Co-Op are ffffffffb, been with them a few years now. Not just the ethics stuff either, although it does make you feel a little better about helping the world. Literally impossible to go overdrawn with them, so you cannot get charges. They just refuse the payment.
