Law of banking

SIR – John Snook (Letters, April 30) discusses the poor service he has received from various banks.

After many years of dealing with banks – in business as well as privately, and in many countries – I have developed an iron law of banking: no matter how bad the bank you are using is, the bank you move to will be worse.

On this basis, I am afraid that there is no hope for Mr Snook in his quest to find a better bank. Roger Clark
