    I'm just wondering if CO Operative Bank's strategic plan is Coventry taking over tbh.

    If not what could it possibly be?
    The only one left to take them over or merge with is TSB.
    Unless they did a ménage à trois with Nationwide and VM. 
    There's other cash rich building society suitors for them. There's also Shawbrook and Metro potentially up for grabs.

    Maybe they should be moving these staff to their call centres - the worst hold times I’ve come across from UK banks! Hopefully, they’d be a bit more friendly too!

    I'd like it if they had options like "press 1 for an emergency" "press 2 to do something you can do yourself online but are choosing to do it on the phone" and route anyone who needs 2 who presses 1 back to queue 2

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
