Agreed, thank you for the correction ... funny how everyday sayings evolve.greenmark wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 9:52 pmIndeed. We have a brain, not brains.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 9:40 pmAnyone who says that needs their brains tested ... if any can be found!
Nothing wrong with a bank saying you don't meet our financial criteria. The issue was the suggestion that they had closed his account becuase his legal political views didn't align with ther values. I (and can hardly bear to say this) agree with Farage. Banks shoud not make judgements about people based on their legal political views.
I'm more staggered by the fact that she disclosed confidential information about a client. It's standard practice for most people and automatic, not to give information away about a company client, and employees lower down the chain who did it would probably get dismissed instantly.greenmark wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 1:24 pmNothing wrong with a bank saying you don't meet our financial criteria.

As much I dislike Farage the bank is out of order but not worthy of the news and attention it's getting. She's resigned, she's apologised, banks apologised, just give him a free £50 M&S voucher now and job done.Derek27 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 1:46 pmI'm more staggered by the fact that she disclosed confidential information about a client.

Nothing wrong with saying "you don't meet our financial criteria" i.e. in the first person but you cannot say "he didn't meet our financial criteria" i.e. in the third person, as you are likely to be sacked!
