			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found a savings product that I am interested in and so I go into the bank to book an appointment about 3 hours from the present time. I go out of the Santander bank branch to have my lunch at PizzaHut, and come back about ten minutes prior to my book appointment and &#8216;check in&#8217; at the reception desk and then consequently get ask to wait.</p>
<p>As I wait in the sitting area, I observe how the branch staff operates. I could see that the receptionist chatting away at a customer about their holiday preference, this is ok under other circumstances were no other person in the queue. Ten minutes go by and I see who the queue is growing longer and longer, witnessing how the other customers are getting agitated but being all calm about the business unrelated conversation that&#8217;s holding everything up.</p>
<p>Anyway,50 minutes go by and I am not being serve so I decided to take my money elsewhere.</p>
<p>After the banking crisis, what choices do I really have, I really hope the UK decides to follow President Obama&#8217;s example by breaking up the banks, as this will allow us consumers more choices on whom to bank with. Santander, the Spanish banking giant has swallowed up a good</p>
<p>Chunk on the UK banning sector and in the last round the HSBC group gobbled up a few banks. What happened to the monopoly and merger&#8217;s commission or the competition commission, they should have blocked most of the mergers.</p>
