BobHaleNot how I'd use the word "great"
I went to get some money from the ATM this morning. Displayed on the ATM was the message - "Great Current Account Interest Rates". This is a rather interesting message given that over the last year the interest rate on that particular account has fallen from over 4% to under 0.5% and that only a few days ago I received a letter from the bank telling me that it was being "reduced" to 0%.
They have, however, changed the name from a "High Interest Current Account" to just a "Current Account".
Apart from the need to pay things by direct debit I might as well keep that money in a box under the bed. I wonder how long it will be before they "reduce" it further and start charging me a fee to look after my money.

KallehI hear you, Bob. The same is occurring here.
Related to "great," I have recently realized that I use that word way too much. I don't know why, either, because I don't like it that much.
