There’s going to be a lot more tears before bedtime before the coming dawn.

I don't need to think twice or even once since I learned the truth.
True they may not all be the same but they would have to prove that to me personally.I for one am not playing the game.

Is there almost a compliment in there for the Council Officers in the finance dept?

now it's official..£27 billion given to shore up the banks... banks that have for many years been very happy to issue out letters and overcharge the average man and women for small amounts of debt that is near kin to extortion... were is any apology?..were is any open plan for this type of disaster?...I'm pretty sure the board of directors of any bank/financial company are not to so skink that they will be shopping in LIDL's or Aldis next week.
I have noticed the absence of Accy Web members working for the banks on this site that usually uphold the banking system and structure .. strange ?

I think it was more like £37 billion.But what the hell? In for a penny.

There was also a shareholder on the news bleating about how hard done by he was, whilst conveniently forgetting all those years of excessive dividends.

Never a truer word spoken Mancie.
I have been on both sides of the fence as far as banking is concerned. I was ridiculed on here for a mistake my wife made and for that we were charged £30......which we got back.
A business can prosper or fail, but it must have the backing of the bank, if you don't, you might as well forget it. If you want credit from your suppliers, unless the bank give you a good reference you have no chance.
I think this brings home to roost that many of the so called experts in banks have no idea how to run their own business.
I can understand why GB and Darling have taken this path and I hope heads will roll for the almighty cock up that has occured.
Luckily now I am completely debt free, no thank to these nerds.

I think the total is now more than £500 billion or £18,000 each.
May be wrong but I'm sure someone will know.

Does that include handouts to the likes of Zimbabwe and other failed economies?

Yes indeed with the RSPCA being the latest revelation. How many others

JamButty, have you any links detailing the charities involved. Would be very interested in that.

mothernature · 14-10-2008, 00:18

Flippin' heck. Was going to move to Wakefield soon. £15 million between the council and West yorkshire police. Will have to rethink that.

No links, just news reports.
