The times reports that Barclays customers are unable to access their accounts today, through the ATM network, online banking or in the branches.
According to the article, this is due to a "computer hardware failure".

misery to millions of people.

Their share price is up today, and there's been no storm clouds brewing for them recently, so I doubt it is anything more than they say.

I hadto buy my house today as this was my latest completion date. Liz Hollaway is incorrect. I had no use of my account in the bank and they said there was nothing they could do. This means that I am now going to have to hope the solicitors pull a few strings otherwise im in trouble

Can someone explain this Crunchy person please? What has he come as?
I'm getting the word - 'nonsense'

This is a dry run for when we get a real bank holiday - when all the banks are declared insolvent and we cannot get access to our cash.

nonsense with a capital banana, tfb. Capital banana.

So would the BNP, but at least the Lib Dems are the only remotely serious alternative to "the other two identical ones"
SCHOOLBOY!

How could anyone educated by this site be completing a house purchase today..?

I think Crunchy was maybe quoting someone else UT.

Also, glad to see you back Crunchy.

I remember a while back (about two years) there was an ATM/computer hardware fault that stopped access to accounts at a different bank. Many on here bleated how this was the beginning of the end and that the bank was in trouble. The problem unsurprisingly turned out to be a hardware fault and the bank is still in business.
I'm sure jonb perhaps knew the reaction this posting would get on here and is having a little chuckle to himself.

This is a very good example of the illusion that so many people are in, on all levels of theses not so strange times.
You don't always get what you see, untill you see what you get. Always too late uncle tom and others. $$$$$ Ask G.Motors ?????

Nowhere near. I think this has more to do with the internet, or the future lack of it than anything else. Hence why I said it will not be the last time. Terrorism, Terrorism, Terrorism must be stamped out with some very good reasons. SECURITY. Which every fool will think they really need. Money, the root of all evil. lol
I am not as obvious as that. Always one step ahead of the true Terrorists. Enjoy for now!

How odd. Just found this without really searching. Just the innocent beginnings of the new era. Keep your eyes on the ball Amigos!
House prices are just a fringe element to the real cause of this avoidable drama. The new glow-bull "ORDER" age is what this is really all
about. Everything else is a secondary issue. The scaffolding if you prefer.

Sorry, I got to the blog a bit late. Sainsbury's VISA bounced my card TWICE.
They later said sorry - but their computer went down for 15 minutes!
The garage lady looked at me really suspiciously - as if I would nick her petrol and not pay!

Another sound video folks. You have to ask yourselves some very serious questions about why our governing bodies are delibarately employing policies that are wrecking businesses and peoples livelyhoods.
To some posters above. Know where the real nonesense is coming from and why this is seemingly so.
When you can make sense of it you will know what to do to protect yourselves. The solution has to be discovered independently.
Times: "Millions of Barclays customers hit by IT fault" It's a shame they couldn't have been hit by the economic fault.

Well what a surprise.
5#17 happens.

it took me ages to find a suitable epitaph for Le Crunch as he told us he had outgrown us. And now, within a week, he's back!! :-). Couldnt stay away?!?!?
"When you can make sense of it you will know what to do to protect yourselves. The solution has to be discovered independently." - classic Le Crunch... dangles the carrot but does he really know the answer? - has he found the holy grail. Did he find it out from the aluminati? C'mon crunchy do tell ! "lol". Personally i'd lay that particular one. But i'd be more than happy to be proved wrong and payout.
or is "it" Crunchys posts - which makes me think of the riddler on speed.
