    Didn't there used to be a mad butler who caused trouble at Nationwide's AGM :rotfl:

    Aha! Found it - can't post a link but go to the BBC website and search for "Is carpetbagging dead" (perhaps someone with 'permission' could post the link). A certain Mr Hardern may be able to give the OP some tips on taking on the Nationwide. or not

    Seriously - if you feel so strongly, why do you still do business with Nationwide. It would surely be less stressful just to move your business elsewhere?

    isn't that just a very English attitude: don't confront or create a fuss when you're getting rogered, just scurry away somewhere where you'll get rogered a bit less vigorously. It's the same reason why a good part of Europe is taking to the streets to demostrate against the greed of the bankers, why the 'can't be arsed Brits', carry on being mesmerised by their daily redtop, Eastenders, Z factor and wotnot, even if they are being, well, royally rogered.

    Nothing personal you understand, as I said, your comment just reminds me of that very ingrained, deferential, English way of backing down in the face of authority and not making a fuss. Bravo on all those who make a fuss I say.

    For all those who like to bury their head in the sand and pretend everything is normal.

    Ask yourself - Why has the voting form been rigged with a 'default' format since the year dot??? Are the board afraid of having a fair vote?

    Why do the board choose their own new members and then get the sheep to 'rubber stamp' the decision THEY have made?
    Ask yourself - When was the last time YOU actually had a choice about a board member?


    Still want to bury your head in the sand? - Perhaps you should read this...
