    Any other bank I could understand, but why are NR panicking? Surely they don't need to make big profits :confused:

    Just look around at your local shops - don't forget the local independents - and look for someone offering a good deal. Then look up reviews on the internet.

    You don't need a massive one, you can just sit closer.

    And the same goes for a TV.

    Because they're now run by civil servants who have no concept of pragmatism, only of sucking up to the boss.

    So they'll cycle between:

    aggressive debt collection - get into the papers - passive debt collection - get grief for poor figures - aggressive debt collection - ...

    If you think they'll eventually get a clue and choose somewhere in the middle which is working for the best for them and their customers, neither of whom benefits from a re-possession, then I have one thing to say to you: :rotfl:
