Clydesdale Bank Song - patience gone!

Hello All,

Having chased the Clydesdale for charges (over 6K), and got nowhere, PLUS having had them consistently (persistently?) send statements to the wrong address, regularly cancel my overdraft (computer error of course) AND tell one of my clients my balance over the counter....

I have had enough and am resorting to the medium of song and satire!

it's on my dgoodall dot co dot uk site. The link is 'clydesdale bank song'

Please do have a listen and let me know what you think and pass it on to others. It would be quite nice to give them a slightly red face.

A video will soon follow on YouTube.

Cheers,

d

  • I feel like Simon Cowell, but I do like the tune but I think the lyrics could be slightly better.

    I will post the link for other X Factor judges to comment on ;)

    Press the play btw.

    EDIT: it does get better towards the end, lol.

  • I just want to add, that the song grows on you if you listen to it more than once.
    Please make a video for the song though cos I think it will quite funny.

    Video going on youtube soon. Bizarrely, three hours after I posted here about the song, Clydesdale called to say they would have my case settled in five days. I'm assuming nothing, as having my case 'settled' might mean saying: "We've looked at it and you're not in hardship"

    We shall see.

    Here's the video.

    A bit rushed, but it's watchable (I think)

    Class!!
    I, too, am in "the queue" waiting for the Clydesdale Bankers to get their finger out re; my hardship claim. Quite frankly I am bored of the whole thing, but your vid certainly did raise a smile!
    Cheers Chum and best of luck!
