Browsers + The End of the Bank Holidays?

I have noticed that some sites still seem to have a problem using any other browser than IE. Why cant they update their software so that you can use another alternate browser.

One I have found is the The Guardian newspaper. Great in Opera, but both Firefox and Netscape both have a problem with it! One friend has also informed me that he has to use IE to log onto Halifax, so his bank are in effect forcing him to use the most insecure browser on the market. (so much for internet security)

Now as I enjoyed the Bank Holiday Monday, I was sat down reading the paper and noticed that a certain high street bank that I wont mention, ok then Lloyds Tsb have started to open branches on the bank holiday.

The article pointed out that this may led to the eventual decine of the bank holiday as other banks will have to follow TSB's lead in this. Seems a shame that the greed of a multinational is such that they have to claw in a few extra pennys by opening on a national holiday. What next Christmas Day opening?

You can bet that the next step will be to penalise any staff that chose to not work the Bank Holiday and insist on their day off. Of course any querys that they may get you can bet they will fall back on the old excuse of its all done "for the publics convenience".

The same way that they closed down Newcastle call centre, and outsourced jobs to India "for the publics convenience." Truely what a bunch of money grabbing corporate whores.
