That is because you're a greedy banker, I screamed, in my head, with a crazed look on my face. Just like with the money, bankers probably want to keep all the work to themselves too, rather than share it out, so they get the biggest pot of everything, big house, big car and big meals.

I'm not envious at all!

Moving on, I was not surprised, for a second, when the media gasped at the initial headlines that banks were not passing on the 1.5 per cent cut in interest rates, last week.

Fortunately, many have since changed their position, but I have a feeling we'll be suffering a case of déjà vu in a matter of months, if not weeks. But who cares what the taxpayer thinks? Obviously not the Government and definitely not the banks.

£37 billion worth of taxpayers' money was loaned to some of the biggest banks by the Labour Government, to help banks out of a '"global crisis".

So I wonder what that means for the future of banking? Perhaps, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, could shed some light on the subject. Here is a statement he made on Sky News, which you could almost mistake for marriage vows, in this case, being renewed.

"I am not going to tell the Bank of England what to do, because independence means just that, in the difficult as well as the good times," he said.

Great, no change there then, thank you very much Mr Darling.

I am glad someone is allowed to be "independent". Can I ask that I, at least, have the same liberation when it concerns my own income?

Besides, who is taking care of the people that have made this investment, who is looking out for us, the taxpayer, through our difficult times?

People's party, my annual increase. Next time you needn't bother shaking your tactics at me, I'm not interested.

Someone, please pass me a brown paper bag, I need to exhale!
