A number of UK Banks, especially RBS, Lloyds and Santander , have banded together to express their gratitude to the British people for helping them out in their time of need.
They have commissioned a limited edition commemorative pencil sharpener which will be offered to selected customers in gratitude for the billions of pounds profit they got out of us last year.
It’s designed to remind us of the friendly and, even intimate relationship the banks have built up with the British public.

Well, this has been a right pain in the @r$€, hasn’t it?
Santander, by the way, is Spanish. Named after the Cantabrian city in which it is located.
As for pains in posterior regions… I am off to uni where yet another class has been cancelled by the professor in order to encourage students to demonstrate against budget cuts. It gives me time to study Japanese verbs, I suppose…
AH SO..
Heh, heh.
They norks are a bit saggy 😉
Says it all, doesn’t it?
Just wait till I get started on banks.
