Banks and Bonus

Hey Guy's,

Well an annoying day for me, found some dodgy transactions on my bank account so as with anyone I called up the bank to cancel my card. When I called up they said fine cancelled the card then informed me of the address they would issue the new card to, it was my old address. I explained this and they agreed my statements came to my new address but when I changed my address in branch apparently they didn't change where my card would be issued just where my statements would be sent, please explain to me why anyone would get their statements sent to one address and the cards to another. Well now I am stuck without a card for at least ten days, now it is a stroke of luck I bought some food the other day that with any luck will keep me going but its still a serious inconvience that if I want to spend any money I have to go into branch just to get the cash out.

On the other side of the coin a while ago me and a few friends were talking about the banks more to the point bank managers, it is amasing that the country has had to bail out banks but they still seem to be able to afford to give themselves a bonus of over 1 million pounds. Now my father has always said that you live to your means, but lets be honest with a million pounds 90% of people if they were careful with there money and invested wisely could live off a million for the rest of there lives, so why in gods name would anyone need a bonus that big?. It just seems like greed to me though the argument back was they are taxed heavily on the bonus, well i'll be honest if I was earning enough to be taxed £1000 per month I would be over the bloody moon so I doubt that they are crying much.

That's just my thought of the day, remember if don't share your opinion do you really have one?.
