hey jayney,

i work for lloyds tsb, but we're not effected (hope not), infact we may have to do more work and deal with HBOS customers aswell!!! there are only three of us dealing with 28,000 business customers.. arghhhhh....

ihope u wont be effected jayney but i guess ur bosses/supervisors r puzzled as u r. they will have a meeting with you guys once they know what will happen.

notlegend the biggest cause of it is idiots spending thousands on credit cards and not being able to pay it back

and also folk getting mortgages when they cant really afford the mortgage

now theyre struggling to pay.

When RBS took over my bank my nice/helpful/caring bank manager was replaced by a muslim woman complete with face-covering. Am sure she's qualified but customer relations is lost as I can't talk to a scarf....just as she would be offended if I wore a balaclava. Moved my account for both our sakes!

would it be easier if she had no headscarf and an enormous wart on her face or perhaps lots of facial hair.

good thing about muslim wmen is they dont walk around with beards and big moustaches like other western women .

I lost my job at RBs when they took over NatWest, it is not always the company being taken over that has the job losses. In your position, you may be ok as Lloyds don't have the same service, they may want to keep that on. I would however start to look for something else before you have even more competition, you never know what might come along. I presume that it is not worth hanging around for a good redundancy payment?
