Can we please get to the end of the #UlsterBankClosure ads from other banks. Their nonsensical happy clappy ads are doing my head in. Don’t get me started on the way some banks are opening on Saturdays when their normally customers are being shoved online and would probably get a kick up the rear end if they thought of darkening the door to transact business they have from existing customers on a Saturday. #irishbanks #irishtwitter
