To be furious with Lloyds online banking?

261 replies

Keyansier · 09/09/2022 18:09

I logged onto my internet banking with Lloyds Bank and upon signing in was greeted with a message about The Queen passing away and giving solitude to Lloyds bank customers. Erm, does anyone else think that this is slightly WTF territory? How dare they assume their customers feelings? AIBU to think banks should not be giving out political messages like this? It's okay to say if they are sorry for someone dying, I'm not expecting them to be someone's pro-death, but AIBU to think they should stay out of giving what might be seen as provocative statements like this to people that may be against the idea of the Royal Family?

You're furious? Really?

YellowTreeHouse · 09/09/2022 18:10

You're being rude and oversensitive. Even if you’re ridiculous enough to be against the royal family surely you have a heart that an elderly lady who has given so much to our country has died.

YellowTreeHouse · 09/09/2022 18:11

It’s a nice thing to do. Stop being offended at the world and you won’t be so angry all the time.

Cas112 · 09/09/2022 18:11

Your being a prat. If you dont like it just ignore the message and carry on as you was

RichardMarxisinnocent · 09/09/2022 18:11

What exactly did the message say? From your description of it, it doesn't sound in any way provocative

ThrowingSomeCrumbs · 09/09/2022 18:11

Not political for a start.

Unanananana · 09/09/2022 18:12

What silly fuss about nothing.

Haven't you got anything better to froth yourself up about?

buttons123456 · 09/09/2022 18:12

How can you be bothered to be upset about that ! Honestly 🙄

LondonQueen · 09/09/2022 18:12

It's not political to start with, you sound a right twat.

grayhairdontcare · 09/09/2022 18:13

Your fuming because they are paying respect to a 96 year old who died??
Have you always been a complete idiot?

Dragonskin · 09/09/2022 18:14

Oh FFS some people find any reason to be offended

LittleBearPad · 09/09/2022 18:14

Its not a political message.

You’re being absurd.

takemetomybeach · 09/09/2022 18:14

Lols. Fumming.

Keyansier · 09/09/2022 18:14

Ok, well people don't clearly realise my point. I'll leave it at that.

I totally agree with you OP, businesses have no right to assume that you are a brainwashed bowing & scraping monarchist. It makes me sick. I did have one lovely moment today though, I went into a charity shop & they were booming out a meatloaf track. Was so great to see that there are some intelligent free thinking individuals around.

BrioNotBiro · 09/09/2022 18:15

Ooh, I haven't got one. I'm furious and fumin!😁

This.

Oh dear. The Big Box of Grips is over there, next to the fire extinguisher. Do help yourself to a few.

If you are a republican, just look the other way for a few days. It won't hurt you.

Loachworks · 09/09/2022 18:16

Of course we realise your point. We just don't agree with it.

2tired2bewitty · 09/09/2022 18:18

I’ve just logged on and there’s nothing there, perhaps you have triggered the ‘ardent monarchist’ algorithm somehow?

girlmom21 · 09/09/2022 18:20

Furious ffs Grin I don't have the message.

NewIdeasToday · 09/09/2022 18:20

‘Assume your feelings’

Whatever your personal views of the monarchy it’s a fact that she was our head of state and served for many many years. It’s appropriate to recognise this. It’s not a political statement.

BadlydoneHelen · 09/09/2022 18:21

'It makes me sick'
Again: really?

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 09/09/2022 18:21

Her face is on money. Are you furious everytime you see cash?

MiseryWIthAStent · 09/09/2022 18:21

I'm no royalist but yes YABU
