I AM sure that, through the media, I have heard that the banks have been instructed/advised by the Government to help and encourage small businesses at this present time, or have I?

Our bank manager has been in to inform us of a “hike” in charges “to a fair tune”!

Fortunately for us, we are an old and established family firm trading for nearly 40 years as Apollo Motors and as A & J Motors for many years before that — all with the same bank!

If we are being accosted like this, I wonder to what tune are other businesses being targeted?

If this is encouragement, I am a Dutchman!
