    Don't you think some people may find the sticker a little offensive?

    Surely that's the whole point! The banks shaft us every day of our lives, yet when we ring ring them up they're really sanctimonious and holier-than-thou, even though they rob the UK public blind on an ongoing basis. If you don't believe me, just look at the profits they post!

    The whole point of MoneySavingExpert is to use and abuse them the same way that they use and abuse us..

    Or have I missed the point here that you're trying to make? :confused:
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    Mines in the post already!

    How many 'freecycled' envelopes do you reckon Martin will get (by freecycled I mean return envelopes sent by junk mail recycled by moneysavers with a sticker)??

    Im betting, ooooohh, around 1500!

    Advance warning - Old Green Punto with a big dent in the South West will be me - might want to avoid at all costs (or I might dent you!!)

    Envelopes written and awaiting posting.

    Next door neighbour is a bank manager for one of the big 4 - do you think I'll upset him? :D

    The sticker is meant to be eye catching hence the phrasing

    I don't see screw as a rude word. Yes of course it has a rude contect in sexual terms. Yet the term really means to drill something into a wall ie screwdriver, and screwing in a plate. If it'd been f**k then no problem.

    The truth is by playing the game fairly for years consumers have been screwed, making people understand it is a battle with two sides is what im all about. Im sure we're grown up enough to say 'screw the banks'. After all screw is in the site motto anyway!

    As for 'free advertising on your car', true it's exactly what this is, but you're advertising something that benefits people. As always I never try and hide what i do, transparency is important, hence why i fully explain and justify the ads in the top post

    hope you enjoy the stickers :)

    Aw what a shame. It's a bit too agressive for little old me. A sticker is a nice idea though.
