I’m not saying that it isn’t. I’m not getting into games of listing stuff for you, but my point was that Anne’s book will be, by its very nature, one side of the story.
No one knows why Tom and co left. What the terms were. Who was in the wrong, if anyone. Or, Indeed, who originally came up with what idea.
I’m not taking sides, just suggesting that no one jumps to conclusions.
No you didn’t, you clearly stated that ‘There are so many assumptions in these posts’. And decided it would be ‘playing games’ to list the posts were people jumped to conclusions. You can’t list them - because they don’t exist! TBH I expect better of CC - making things up then being patronising when challenged about it is not OK.
Yes. And that remains true. For example, there’s an assumption that the original idea wasn’t Tom’s or one of the other people that left. And that there was an NDA.
You instructed me to list five. That’s not the way that civilised discourse works.
I listed two above. But I’m not being drawn into these sorts of games. I’m sorry if that is disappointing to you.
I’m a member on here like anyone else. My opinions aren’t better or worse than yours. Don’t use the label as a stick to beat me or the others.
I don’t think that either of those things are true.
I wouldn’t usually respond to this sort of thing, but thought that this it would be worthwhile clarifying things. I won’t enter into further dialogue about it, though, I’m afraid.
My feedback to you would be that it there really wasn’t anything worth clarifying for either of you and you’d have been better off to resist the urge to get the last word in.
Back to the topic, a book by Anne Bowden is surely quite niche? I can’t see it flying off the shelf but I guess it’ll generate a few articles.
As someone there early enough to hear not-so-distant-past recollections of what happened, it’s hardly “stealing someone else’s idea”.
Of course I’ll be interested to hear Anne’s take on it and how much of a resemblance (or not) it bears to what I heard, but remember - it’s just one side of the story.
Let’s just put it this way - if she’s blameless in her recollection then it’s worth taking with several grains of salt. You may well ask why 10 other people all followed Tom out the door.
And given that many/most of those people are no longer even at Monzo, it’s perhaps less interesting than it might have been a year ago.
Very well put.
One of the medics in tonight’s BBC ambulance had a Monzo card , does that count as in the media?
I spotted hot coral in two of their phone cases.
Nope, that’s BBC bias 
Nice gesture from this guy and Monzo card being used towards the end of the video 
Excellent 
Totally wishful thinking but Monzo could refund the chap.
awaits wrath
“We saw your good will gesture and would like to extend one to you as well!”
Could be good PR as well as just a nice thing to do lol
Perhaps even doing something like giving him premium/plus for the first 3/6 month term or something… you know to keep it relevant and also push some pr about the new accounts.
Someone much smarter than me could think of a better way of linking the two with a catchy tagline
Kinda answers the question - all airlines are bleeding cash.
I got the impression she wanted to use off-the-shelf everything, rather than genuinely re-implement banking software from the ground up. Tbh it’s surprising Starling did as well as it did, given that approach.
Of the four new digital banks gaining traction in 2016 before they launched, Starling and Monzo were built from scratch, and Atom and Tandem were ‘off the shelf’.
Atom claimed to build their own gaming-engine powered app though.
At the time it sounded great but then the reality of it isn’t so much that.
