Default Lloyds reducing milage

Hi Everyone

Are other people like me annoyed that Lloyds have now decided to knock the first 40 miles off any travelling you do? It makes travelling to their shops not worth it really.

In my area they are now desperate for locums as everyone has moved to Boots!

Whats happening elsewhere?

Lloyds never were too bright! There were a lot worse when it was run by the actual 'Lloyds boys' but apparently the new lot are just as thick now!

Good idea to cut locum payments now, after all there is a glut of locums at the moment!

They are off on their Polish travels again, but the ones I work with aren't too good to be honest.

Out of the last "batch" of Poles they recruited for this area, I've been told they have two left!

If people from Poland are called Poles why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

Trust me, the Belgians usually refer to them as just that!

They've told me they could find a locum to come and work in my shop on Bank Holidays for £26/hour or less; So come on, form an orderly queue! first come, first serve

I don't see how they can get them for that, unless it's the area. The standard rate here is £25/hour for a normal day.
