    How old are you BigBum?

    I want a credit card, even Vanquis and a decent banking account, I have a full bank account at Abbey and Yorkshire but their both s.hite.

    Honestly, Steely, it's bad form to ask a lady her age! What do you mean, "you don't see no lady!"? :mad: :D

    What makes Abbey and Yorkie shi*te?

    Mrs_Ryan how many jobs have you had?

    Who was the worse to work for Abbey or Capital One?

    what a cheek lol.

    I worked for Abbey years and years ago part time while I was at uni... got made redundant when Santander took over :mad: they were ok actually! We had a good laugh there and the money was good :p

    Must say it was probably Cap One - they were an absolute nightmare, I had to leave because I was under too much stress and it made me really ill. They used to allow you 15 minutes of toilet breaks in total - per week - and the toilets were a 5 minute walk from our desks!!! They had all manner of stupid targets for the stupidest things and it was incredibly stressful. Thankfully, I was temping through an agency and could just walk away.
