Banks! Now there is a safe topic .

when I was a boy, banks were like courts. Only open between 10am and 3pm Mon-Fri. But they all at least paid you for the right to hold your money. It was only 3%, but it was income, not a fee.

Because it required an incentive to get people to put their money into the Bank. and that is how it should be!

But, ever since legislation made it legal to pay employees by direct bank deposits, Banks have gotten cheekier and more arrogant, conceited, self-important, pompous, pretentious, supercilious - and that is just their good points! .

Now its like they have a monopoly on your money. They get paid your wages, and they charge you if you try to get it out, and they charge you to pay bills with it, and they charge you if you just leave it there!

I reckon we should all insist on being paid in cash - you remember, the real, folding stuff! Then see what effect that has on "Bank Fees".

Just my 2c worth!
...but don't get me started...
I HATE Banks Too !!!
