So bankers are going into the lottery business - using our money!
I've just been invited by Halifax to register for their latest money-wasting wheeze - a £6 million prize draw.
Now if times were good, it wouldn't be so bad. But I sort of got the impression that banks were going broke. Didn't we bail them out to the tune of millions?? Don't taxpayers own 40% of owners LloydsTSB?
So while they pay me a risible amount of interest on the money they are holding for me, three lucky buggars are going to walk away with £100,000 every month - all down to the luck of the draw.
Is this the way we can look forward to banking - only the lucky get a reasonable return
(By the way, before you ask, yes I did register !)
