We have a similar thing here in Sheffield. We had a branch of Abbey, a branch of Bradford and Bingley, and a branch of Alliance and Leicester. All of them are now Santander, but two branches are literally opposite each other across the tramlines on the high street, and the other is just a little fur...

I am alarmed and saddened by the events around the country these last few days. I am ashamed of some of my fellow countrymen. we are not and will never be an Anarchic state. FFS this is England not Syria. At least the Syrians have a reason to protest ( they don't have a currys to loot). I am so fuc...

I have applied for a job at Asda four times over...
