Indeed they are.
Utter Pants Icon Design are very proud of their work, I'll have you know.

It's where the money is
This piece of 'strategic marketplace repositioning' cost around 11 million, so I hear:

of rollout. Impressive.

oh yes - that was the worst rebrand ever - it was truly awful
and then they became Santander - so they rebranded again
I've been with the Abbey for 18 years now - it's a rubbish bank and is getting worse
they've just changed their charges now, so instead of being charged £6.18 a month for being overdrawn - I'll be charged a flat £10 -"just to make things clearer"

Interesting use of the word 'clearer'.
When 'substantially more expensive' would be nearer the mark.

Well, it's not as if they are 80% + public owned and are paying out massive bonuses, or anything like that...
Sorry, what was that...?

I like the idea of being sent a text just before you go over your overdraft
but seriously - the "until 3pm overdraft amnesty" is a good idea

I dunno, I usually already know I'm gonna go overdrawn
and there's usually nothing I can do about it, or I already would've...

I only upgraded from 7 four months ago :)
My personal philosophy (apply this as you will to software, mobile phones, cars etc): IF IT DOES THE JOB, THEN YOU DON'T NEED A NEW ONE!

but if your clients keep sending you artwork created in the very latest version
you have to keep up

it is the utter filth
that is office 2007, a product so vile someone at microsoft should have executed the entire development team.
2003 worked ok, why fuck it up and make it unusable for everyone?

^ this with bells on.
Awful, awful program with no new functionality. Purely to make a quick buck. Uninstalled it from my new work laptop and put 2003 back on. I couldn't be arsed to wait to download the plugin for back-compatibility, so I just use Open Office to open them. I much prefer Open Office, just a shame so few people use it. It's free, FFS...

Ah, the special 'open, XML based file format'
that is completely proprietorial. Bless their little cotton socks.

The only reason I upgraded in the end
it didn't look very professional me asking people to back-save things all the time :(

exactly
can you backsave please -we don't have CS5
er - can you backsave again please -I can't open CS4 docs...
Also now got Office 2011 - so the .docx .xlsx .pptx issues are a thing of the past

Yeah they did shut down a little while ago
So it's all started from fresh. You should still have the same log in though.
Edit: now I can't get it up!
You've got to go through the whole 3 posts in different comps to vote though :( If you look in the forum they give you the sources for a week in advance.
