Beware of speedy banking

With online banking we manage our accounts, pay bills and transfer money throughout the working day. We welcomed the changes last year that meant we could transfer money between accounts in hours as opposed to days. Imagine the language in the office when our 'bailed out bank' slipped into the statement a charge of £0.45 for every speedy banking transfer. No doubt in the small print somewhere this was stated but they certainly did not make it obvious. Another example of certain banks milking the small business.

London Day - 22 Janaury

Another busy day working in London. The 06.20 flight to Stansted doen't get any easier but this one was on time and arrived early - joy! This is the first full day with this year's intake of Graduates and I am looking forward to it. A smaller number recruited this year refelcting the trading situation. We have a full training programme today looking at Proposal and Report Wrting as well as Time and Priority Management. A lot to cover but with a talented group it goes smoothly! We wind up around 17.00 and I have a quick walk around Regent Street before starting the trail homeward. Easyjet leave early and arrive early - yahoo! Home at 22.15 to a welcomed glass of wine.
