A memoir of a forty-year career in banking covering the rapid developments in the banking industry, which supported the economic recovery of post-war Britain.
The book traces the career of the author who embarked on an occupation which, from modest beginnings, led to a senior management role at one of the bank's largest branches in the south of England.
At a time when the country was experiencing a period of austerity, as a result of the Second World War, this book records the huge changes brought about by mechanisation, decimalisation and computerisation, plus the introduction of the credit card.
Whilst the banks played an essential part in the economic development of the United Kingdom, there were mistakes along the way. As a result, in recent years, the term mis-selling has become synonymous with banking and reflects a darker period in banking's recent history, which has reverberated across the whole industry.

The author is in his eighty-fifth year and was employed by Barclays Bank for forty years. He retired from the Bank at a relatively early age and has lived in Hampshire since moving down from Essex to Southampton in 1963. Sadly his wife has suffered from semantic dementia for the past twelve years and has been in a care home for the last eighteen months. Until the pandemic he enjoyed golf, gardening and watching his five grandsons playing competitive sports. Hopefully those pleasures will soon return.
