Many good threads begin with a troll post...

I reckon jelly is an UndisputedTruth invention for trying to make bankers look bad.

Haha, do you think jelly's "six figure salary" includes the pence?

[Brendan]

Pennies matter don't they. I don't work even half as much as that. Reckon I'm onto a winner.

Am I being really dim here. But are people who work in High Street banks classed as Bankers ?

Aren't they classed/heaped in the same grey bracket like shop or office workers

I mean the girl with the big knockers and airbrushed nails (retro surfing style this week) in Santander in Sydenham Rd, is she a Banker ?

NETTE:-S

Do you think of banking when you see her?

If so, she probably is one.

[maxxi]

Really depends how she handles your deposit.

[Otta]

She doesn't like you to withdraw though.

I sometimes imagine her on a trampoline/waterbed, surrounded by ?50 notes & saying

"Please enter your pin"
