Re: Umbrellas: a serious ecological issue (4.00 / 2)

A most hearty recommend for the Diariste, who should clearly do a regular series of amusing and well written anecdotes from the life of the 'lady what do yoga'

Thank you, Sven! :)

My next diary will be called Should banks be bombed? I'm dealing with an extremely frustrating issue with my bank a t the moment (the moment has been lasting for 2.5 months) and gathering all my knowledge as well as mental strength to depict the wrongdoings of several financial instituions without having to rush off and meditate in padmasana or else God help me. So, stay tuned :)!

Is this a UK bank?

If so, it should certainly be bombed.

Yes, it is, indeed. But there is also Citibank Buffalo involved in the process, so this vast screw-up has not been limited only to the UK.

Now that would be an interesting discussion on here ;-)

I need to compile the diary first... you need to have all the facts, see? It gets better with each day.

you tell it barbara!

i xpect the invisible hand of pure market forces will provide an umbrella sturdy enough to handle the most howling of winds...

however it will cost £5,000, because of its titanium joints.

the more ostentatious will take the model with heraldic family crest, from briggs, ramsbottom & sons, for a measly pittance of £2,000 extra...

while the one-trip throwaway model from formaldehyde-free biodegradable hazelnut shell chaff composite can be yours free if you sign for a new account from natwest!

the logo washes off in the rain, no worries
