    Woohoo! I'm normal! Gotta go tell the cat.
  • I liked the toilet head who said I refuse to pay the charges back and enjoy people crying. Nice its Barclays crying now as everyone claims charges back. Enjoying them being named and shamed.

  • People need to start asking a simple question when conracted by these people.

    1. What is Your FULL name?

    If anything happen's then make an official complaint about the person involved.

    Also say you want a letter saying what been done.
  • I wouldn't want to be working at Barclays tomorrow!

    Its just disgraceful - and obviously just the tip of the iceberg - all banks and building societies are probably the same.

    They are going to need some spin doctors now

  • The best part of the whole documentary was Barclay's PR spokeswoman, what a joke! IMHO

    Such a smug, arrogant bunch. As usual, the people at the top are too removed from the coal face.

    I imagine it's quite difficult to weed out the corrupt employees, but so worrying how they play games with our data and money. No doubt this could happen in other organisations too.

    The thing is.....what alternatives to using banks are there in todays society?
