Iceland’s urinal revenge on their missing Bankers

The webs we weave - hat tip thingy to Tom P (no pun intended) who linked to Nudges who credited a Peter Warnock (no hyperlink?).

Pictures of Bankers who “allegedly” fled the Country following the financial crisis are now being placed on the inside of urinals in Icelandic Bars.

Now, following my post yesterday on the “Evil that Banks Do” I hope that people don’t think I am at all anti Bankers!

In fact I have had the privilege of working for two different Banks in my time. The first was admittedly pretty awful and frankly dishonest which ripped off its customers. They sold them completely unsuitable and inappropriate financial products for the high commissions.

While the other Bank was at least while I was there being very professionally and ethically run (It was called at the time I recall the “BCCI in administration”).

Warm Woollies turns into Iceland

Okay, it is actually good news for the Roman Road (Bow, London) that this closed Woolworths (a few minutes away from where I work) is being converted into an Iceland store.

In Forest Gate the "Woollies" has been turned into a Tesco Express which is also I think an assert to the local community.

It is still a real shame that the Woolworth chain collapsed. I didn’t visit the store that often like many others but of course now it is closed I am always running out of “essential” domestic items that they would have stocked (e.g. R50 light bulbs, batteries, gloves and Birthday cards!).

No longer will we use the phrase "I'll just pop into Woollies".
