    They said what they wanted to say and moved on. You waded in with a story about something which was nothing to do with the OP except for the fact you claimed you had received poor customer service too. Most posters did what i did and read between the lines.

    In your posts you don't come across very well, not just to me but others. This was what led to the comments about you. You could have stopped at any time but you just carried on. You have been very judgemental about people, if you give it you have to be able to take it.

    I shared a equally poor TSB experience, and told the OP to report it.


    Look at the behaviour I got, I will not be trampled on by TSB staff shouting I receive DWP benefits across a branch nor others who got the hump in another thread I'm banking 78% of my income a month and keep trolling my posts in other threads.

    I'm sure the OP will report it if they feel the need to.

    However, your experience is nothing like the OP's. You can't really compare the two.

    So as well as saving charity shops, getting people sacked etc etc, you've also worked with unwell people.

    GIVE THIS GUY A MEDAL!

    Let's not forget the experience of diamonds outside the UK. For a 22 year old [in 2016], having been involved in the set up and training of technology introduced in the UK from 2003 outside the UK takes some doing.

    How many successful jobs can anyone have held in a short period of 4 years since they became an adult? Why would a 22 year old jump from implementing C&P abroad to managing a UK charity shop to working with unwell people (not necessarily in this order) - just randomly listing extracts from diamonds' posts. diamonds also had time to get thorough education in mental health (however that may be defined). An absolute genius, definitely worth a medal.

    I got a education in mental health, not one from a book where I think I'm god because I passed tests on them books and fuelling people up on medication in abnormal isolated environment and observing them. [/url]

    I was thinking that, none of it makes sense ? Although the mental health education wasn't from books i understand ? How does that work then ? Also 78% of income seems a really random figure to quote ? And nearly 40% tax payer ?

    GIFTED, from head office approval - can you not read? ....retail RRP, shop price £25. UNSOLD, unwanted,


    What if anything stops you from giving a GIFTED, UNSOLD (your uppercase), unwanted, RRP £25 etc etc item to someone less fortunate than yourself?

    Even more, what inspires you to brag about the self-same item being worth £350 and making you a better person than a random (?) TSB employee?

    It's insecurity that makes people do things like this. There's a lot of bragging in Diamonds posts.

    School holidays did occur to me, too, Yet diamonds has over 5,000 posts, not a one-week wonder. May be they had their account hacked?
