VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Edwin|DATE|1367062334|CONTENT|While ranting, what about the conversion of building societies into banks? They were allowed to decide the level of activity or deposit required to qualify for the de-mutalisation payout but as far I was know a member was a member full stop. 

But let us not forget that some directors of mutual societies were allowed to become directors of the new banks with bonuses for negotiating the change, sometimes before and after! Naturally the trough continued to be filled for their snouts when there were subsequent takeovers etc.

As always I wonder how many served as C of E church sidesmen (there are other denominations and religions with the equivalent hypocrites) and were &quot;charitable&quot; members of Rotary, Masons etc.|EMAIL|aeduin@aol.com|IP-ADDRESS|92.6.71.38|MODERATIONFLAG|
