Lloyd’s BankMy reply didn’t post.
Back to all seriousness, it appears then that due to Barclays conduct it’s made consumers lose some respect for the bank, and therefore vote for Lloyds?
Btw Lloyds are involved in a dispute with Noel Edmonds and his beard aren’t they?0 -
Both banks are a joke. Neither are market leading. I always remember when a lady did a talk with regards staff banking at Barclays. She was not happy when I told her that Barclays, for any staff; was not market leading; for example interest rates. anyone in financial difficulties. etc. Just summed up the Go-To bank wonderfully.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0

They tried that 50 years ago and failed. In 1968 a proposed merger between Barclays, Lloyds and Martins Bank was blocked by the Monopolies Commission as contrary to the public interest on competition grounds. Barclays was allowed to take over Martins as they were much smaller, but they weren't allowed to merge with/take over Lloyds.0 -
It’s a troll you are feeding and a millionaire one at that.
They have over half a million pounds in the bank, yet still have a £6k mortgage.

Thank you for the abusive private message and thank you for the bizarre message above, proves my point. Go Back to counting all of your millions of pounds and enjoying the high life. If you were this rich you would have financial advisers not self set up polls on a web forum which are vague and make no sense. Like I said it’s feeding a troll. Enjoy fantasy land, my friend.0
