Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Asit would in some current account earning about 0.1%.
It's offset by the fact that I don't have to spend time sorting out their cockups at a rate of about 6 times a year.
I never have to phone them when they take money they shouldn't, or sort out companies who take too much via direct debit (I had BT take 411 quid once, when it should have been 41.10 etc...). I used to have to queue up in the bank on Saturday mornings to sort out crap that they created.
To be honest, if it costs me 100 quid a year in inflationary losses, I'm more than happy to pay that than to have to deal with a bank. Although, by my (very loose) calculations, it's a lot less than that.
Plus, I have irons in other fires that increase at a higher rate than even our inflation rate at the moment.
