    This tennis could go on as a rally for yonks!!! I am aware of what billions is thanks. However i suspect the OP was trying to lump them in with the likes of RBS, HBOS in terms of losses suggesting they were on a par. This is not the case seeing as Santander have made profit and not losses in 2008.
    Actually, I think the OP was asking about whether the investment product A&L offered him was any good, and the general consensus seems to be that it isn't.

    Just got my post and there was a GEB in there with 10 times the growth of the FTSE100 with a cap of 97.5%. Whilst I wouldnt touch it, it just highlights how poor the 26% is (or whatever it was on page 1)
