The questions for the former bank bosses 12:19pm on 10 Feb 2009 Who gave these guys knighthoods and for sevices to what?
Lend, lend, lend 6:31pm on 18 Jan 2009 I live in Castleford as does Viv Nicholson, the pools winner, who coined the words "spend, spend spend". The heading of this section of the blog prompted me to comment as well as a visit to London last week.
My wife and I went to a play (it was packed) and two restaurants for diner on each of the three evenings we were there. On Wednesday we dined at Vasco and Piero's Pavillian restaurant where Gordon Brown Spent his stag night. It was buzzing and there was no sign of any credit crunch. Neither was there at Gaucho, Sloane Avenue.
There are plenty of lucky people like us who will see hardly any effect of all this personally because we have been careful and have good state pensions and savings.
The banks will never be trusted again unless there is an Obama type radical change that frowns on greed.
Rescue plan due in hours 7:22pm on 07 Oct 2008 I simply want to say that Robert Peston has ben brilliant at informing us all what is going on and helping me and my wife decide what to do with our life's savings.
Yesterday my wife and I went to a couple of banks to make sure we protected our savings by not having everything in one bank. We live in Castleford Yorkshire and in the Abbey northern humour was rife.
There was an elderly lady who was telling an adviser " I am not interested in interest rates at my age". There was a young man in army uniform getting some cash out and he was with three colleagues also in uniform. Another woman came into the bank and looked round. She said loudly: " I know things were bad but I did not realise the've had to get the army in"
