TALKING of Barclays Bank (Alan Blandford, July 19), I was so disgusted with the greed of bankers and the proposed closure of Barclays in Portswood (with doubtless loss of jobs and inconvenience for clients), that I left Barclays and went to Nationwide, where there are (correct me if I am wrong) no fat cats.

There I am very happy and I believe I am not the only one. I have heard that shareholders are starting to challenge these obscene payments.
