Maybe it's just me, but I really get pissed off by banks, insurance companies and financial institutions referring to what they offer as "products". A product is something - something real - that you produce, like a tin of beans or a lawn mower or a pair of trousers. What these people offer are financial arrangements or agreements, and some have proper names like "policies" or "mortgages" or " pension schemes" which don't seem to get used now, everything is a "product".
Seems to me that these people want us to think that they are actually making something useful, rather than just gambling with other peoples money.
Is it just me?? Am I the only one shouting at the telly or the radio " IT'S NOT A FUPPIN 'PRODUCT YOU TWAT!!" ??
