Wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole is an expression indicating extreme dislike and distaste for an object, person or situation. The expression can be used in a similar way to wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole, but is not solely applicable to females; it is even more disparaging when used about a female as it treats her as something less than human. Many bargepoles were 12 or 13 feet long, but one specialised type called a setting boom could be as long as 28 feet! So as you can imagine, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole means something which you would much rather keep well away from.

“Mate, you want to avoid that one; I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!”

Beige Network

The Beige Network is an international financial protocol used by all major banks as an uncomplicated way to facilitate fund transfers across international borders, most commonly from an account lodged in Beige Network Bond, for which a Beige Network transfer is the only method to squirt funds out of.

As opposed to a standard Bank Transfer, for which a fee may be levied, causing the funds to shink, a Beige Network Expanding Transfer can result in the fund being of greater value after the transfer.

Each bank sending and receiving Beige Network squirts have a Beige Channel ID which is needed to facilitate the Beige Network Expanding Transfer.

What's the Beige Network ID for your bank that I should send the Expanding Transfer to?

BDO Bank is a Beige Network affiliate, and can therefore receive Beige Network Expanding Transfers.

You might be familiar with the Grey Market, the Pink Panther, or the Yellow Submarine, but if you don't have any experience in the banking world, you might not have heard of the Beige Network.
