    That's a shame.

    Like I said, I have never been there so the comment was focused on his marketing skills. Henry Ford didn't neccessarily make the best car but his entrepreneurship was close to unquestionable ("close" in case you've had a bad experience in a Model T)

    Do we know how Tom from Beechworth went with his banking arrangements?

    I suppose they could use ABBA singing 'money, money, money, it's a rich man's world'

    Excellent thinking Jim, although after posting record profits again, despite times of economic hardship, I could see that backfiring on the banks.

    There again they are not noted for their sensitivities unless, of course, it affects their bottom line.

    In the same vein how about the Beatles' "Money." It could be played as the theme each time the entrance doors opened or closed.

    Then of course to attract the women, Eartha Kitt's "I'm just an old-fashioned girl". I think it's called that. Perhaps not politically correct to look for an old-fashioned millionaire.

    Darrel Lea used to pump the smell of his licorice out the front of the chocolate shop to get people in.

    The perfume counters at the front of department stores had the opposite effect on me. I don't know if they do that anymore.

    Paul, I sincerely wish you a positive experience. Everyone's situation is different and if a major bank suits you then good luck to you. What has always bewildered me is people who remain with the bank while complaining about them. When questioned on same they make every excuse for not switching, most of which are uncompelling. I don't understand....and frankly have grown bored of hearing about it.

    When I was young I was prepared to engage with what you might call people of faith on my athiesm, but I've had to have the same conversation so many times with so many people and so often they are incapable of properly participating (many people attached to a given religeon really don't understand their own organisation and theology, but I guess that's part of faith based belief) that i simply grew tired of it and now avoid getting bogged down in it.

    I am frequently wrong but at least I usually figure out why and can learn from my many errors
