Daylight robbery!

This old rope on the beach has just put me in mind of a visit to my bank last week. I wanted to transfer £25 to a friend in South Africa who had just run a marathon in support of wildlife conservation. The bank, it seems, need to charge an additional £39 to transfer £25.

Dream on Clydesdale Bank! Joseph Stalin was spot on when he said: When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use.
