Fair play to Andy Murray - he says that RBS has supported him since he was 13 and helped him get to the top and now its time to see how he can help them back:

Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

So will they change their name to 'The Andy Murray RBS'?0 -

Will we have 'Six Nations Bank' then too or how about 'Williams F1 lending co'......others might get on board....'Renulat F1 blink and you miss it bank'.0

I believe in telling it as it is, so it should of course be "The Bank of We're all Fokked", however as that probably isn't politically correct enough PeoplesBank would be a better option. But we may then need PeoplesBank II, PeoplesBank III and so on...Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

He's willing to take less cash from them as long as Fred the Shred and other former members of the ex board are willing to let him serve 140mph balls at their heads.0

You think they will give him his soul back?
Not a chance.0 -
wow, all we need now is that hypocrite bono to give 95% of his wealth to the poor, and my faith in celebrities will be reborn.0

My previous area of work interrealates with people who had sponsership to be able to pursue equestrianism professionally. I used to get a bit grumpy when they whinged to be honest...it is after all vocational. Of course, the top ranks are also filled with talented, albeit better off amateurs, who combine with the normal money making low income equestrians. If equestrians/sportsmen don't acheive their full potential it is indeed sad, but how many ordinary working peole don't fulfil their full potential...making comprimises with work/parnting/life.
The truth is anyone who is pursuing a vocational pursuit as a career is bloody lucky, IMO.0 -
Well done, Andy Murray, unlike Jackie Stewart who comes over as a greedy so-and-so. I bet if one of his companies were struggling he would be asking workers to take a pay freeze/cut, sabbatical, or whatever, which is in effect what he is being asked to do. Except that he is already loaded and wouldn't miss it anyway.0

I expect Andy Murray to look back on this and have a good laugh0
