A man who set his telephone banking password for British bank Lloyds TSB to ‘Lloyds is pants’ found  that some joker at the bank had changed it to ‘no its not’ when he rang up trying to use it. Apparently someone didn’t take kindly to his little dig at their employer…

What is better though is that he tried to change it to something else, first trying ‘Lloyds is rubbish’ and then ‘Barclays is better’, both of which were ‘inappropriate’ according to the bank. When he finally tried to change it to ‘censorship’, they told him that it had to be 6 characters or less, showing they were just making the rules up on the spot to stop him making his point.

According to Lloyds, the person who changed his original password has since been sacked and they have apologised. Now, only one thing remains. If you are meant to have a password, surely YOU get to decide what it should be? I mean, call me crazy, but isn’t that the sodding point? That and it NOT BEING CHANGED BY SOMEONE!
