    There is no money in regular bankng, money in and out, servicing customers who by enlarge, make the bank no money.


    Well, they need to get their act together then, there are plenty of Building Societies that make a living without the need to emulate Tesco.

    Doesn't stop supermarkets from selling them before and after the holiday itself, so I fail to see why we should worry in the slightest about that ;)

    You cannot compete if you are closed .. :D

    Perhaps the banks that think they are shops should open on Sundays.. :D

    I'm hard pressed justifying why some of our branches are open on Saturdays, what with the really poor amount of business they see. I think Sunday opening for banks will probably come one day, but we're not there yet.

    I'm quite lucky really, my branch is only Monday to Friday, so I don't lose my beloved weekends!

    I guess some of the banks do think they are shops then.

    Halifax to open Sundays: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/65771.stm

    And, more recently, Lloyds TSB to open Sundays: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3153131.stm

    And from this very forum: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=4992103&postcount=8
