    Am currently at a smaller bank and absolutely love the work and people I am working with. When the banks become beasts they start acting like Public sector organisations. Have worked at Barclays twice in the past and while the place is great the work certainly isn't.

        Actually, strictly speaking, I am not. You are probably thinking of Skipton BS but I don't work for them.

              Bit touchy? No that they have a more permie "job for life" attitude and don’t take to being let go that well. Whereas other contractors are perhaps more used to it. Anyway keyboard warrier, call me a w*nker to my face. I’m in the city if you wish to meet...

                      Bridgwater is the traditional contractor place for a spat, just don't get confused and end up at the nearby dogging hotspot
                      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
