...so because they anticipate things like recession, they contribute to recession and aid it all along etc../makes perfect sense really..isn't that how it works..'the expecting' and then taking action on that and becoming the cause in itself...I think to a large extent, those who go into branches and who branches are important to are more elderly people who don't understand the internet so much or wouldn't trust online banking..and they can have large savings as well so should be considered much more than it appears they are...it almost seems very dismissive of them...I guess some will possibly go back to the old mattress method of banking...
