Default I have a dirty secret...

......I have battled with my conscience for a long long time on forums with this and I feel that this is the one forum that will be accepting as any other. For the last couple of years that I have been on internet forums, I have continued with a, and this is the hard bit, day job. This is really hard to say but I am a BANKWORKER

Sorry but the above post has been really really difficult for me to admit to myself

I already knew that. I heard someone call you a banker. At least I think that's what they said.

They have called me a lot worse to my face!
I had to post here, cos it saved me a really sarcastic bankworkers thread or on another thread,lol. I hate confessional threads when people are on the other side of the fence so to speak. If you work for a company that is being criticised and you know how to resolve the issue, then post and be damned. Do I expect too much or have I just gone past the point of caring anymore what the consequences are?

Talking Re: I have a dirty secret...

Errrm...Am NOT sure whether arranging the window displays in the branches, actually counts as being called a BANKWORKER, in the true sense of the word, as others would call it yourbank??...

Whether YB arranges window displays, empties the wastebins or counts the pencils doesn't matter.
The quality of the help and advice that is given to other users does!
Unlike a lot of users, YB spends a considerable part of the time spent on CAG in actually giving constructive help on the forums, and should be applauded for so doing.

Anyone who helps even one person should be applauded .. so of course him giving his valable time is welcomed .

Doesn't mean we can't have a laugh and joke with him though .. does it
