    I got warned off them in the mid 1990s by a Geordie who called them the Robbing Bank of Scotland.

    When RBS took over they f**ked my life up. Since then they have been rude and nasty and unhelpful and incompetent.

    If I saw a NatWest on fire with the staff inside I'd throw my spare petrol can at it.

    Mine's got 16 years to run. I never got in to that changing your mortgage every three years stuff - overall I reckon I have saved.

    Why would they laugh at me? I'm no longer paying towards Fred Goodwin's pension, I'm not rewarding their reckless greed.

    A vast majority of people are still paying the bullies instead of kicking them in the bollux... that's why they laugh at you.

    In 6 months time we'll all be calling Gordon "the safe pair of hands", voting Labour, and boasting our houses are going up £1000 a day in value at tedious dinner parties where we talk about which new top-of-the-range BMW we are buying on 0% APR next week.

    Not the dreaded Natwest business banking level of purgatory?
