Sharklays Bank

After completing an over-the-counter transaction at the local branch of Barclays yesterday, the cashier wrote on a card and passed it to me through the glass. He told me to read it as it might be of interest.

It was a business card with a pre-printed note on it telling me I could borrow up to the following amount from the bank on an unsecured loan. On the dotted line he had written the amount of £10,000.

In the current economic climate of stock market turmoil arising from indiscriminate lending, I am entirel appalled that they choose to resort to this tacky and irresponsible way of touting for business. I would be enraged if they made such an offer say to my son.

I am so ticked off I am going to write to them and complain. I'm still deciding whether or not to tell them shall be taking my business elsewhere!
