As R Shaw suggests, it seems clear that banks are more interested in making profits than
providing customer service.
Those making the decisions about branch closures are, no doubt, the same ones receiving
big fat bonuses as a result of the increased profits.
Once again, shame on the banks.
Will they ever listen to customers?

Now that’s a long time ago
The other day I was looking for some music to download from a well known internet music
store.
Whilst browsing up popped an album, NOW That’s What I Call Music 98.
I can remember the first NOW That’s What I Call Music.

Down the sinkhole
Has anyone got any comments on the condition of the road approaching Fulwood village,
Brook House Hill. It’s an utter disgrace.
Just how long will it be before we see a car disappear down the sin hole that is starting to
appear on the down side?
Then when you get round the corner approaching the village yet more damage in the road.
How much longer do we have to put up with this shoddy workmanship.
As I said last week doesn’t SCC or its contractors Amey have a quality control manager, it
certainly appears they don’t?
If this contract is for 25 years we are certainly not getting value for money, and apparently it
won’t be paid until 2042.
They are having a good laugh.
We should be more like Birmingham and Liverpool and sack the contractors off.
Neither are fit for purpose.

Dangers of tram bridge
Looking more closely at Supertram’s Park square bridge in Sheffield city centre I have
become very concerned that there is no protective railing between pedestrians crossing the
bridge and Supertram.
I came to this conclusion after seeing children running haphazardly across the bridge
unaware of the immediate danger of the moving tram.
Maybe the engineers thought it unnecessary or didn’t take into consideration that people
would be crossing close to Supertram.
Any contact there could have only one outcome.
