We can't even get rid of them when they were supposed to go!
If this is the case, can see Merv staying on too, as the government face the challenge of finding "the right person for the job".
What amuses me, is one of the people likely to take a seat in the BOE is an FSA Chairman....after all the FSA shortcomings!
Anyway, seems that the status quo may not be changing for some time yet. Reading between the lines, the government wan'ts more QE, and have to find the right people to do it....if neccesary, keeping those who want QE the most in place.

Whether the government want him to stay or not I would imagine that old Merv is counting the days down till his retirement. The chances are that things could take a turn for the worst with the economy before they get better. Europe can make as many press statements it's wants about doing everything to keep the Euro on track, doesn't change the fact that the Euro train is trying to head down a track that hasn't been built yet. The resulting fall out could affect us all and that's just one of the worlds problems. I'd think that Merv is just keeping everything crossed that he can get out with his pension before things get worse and then leave the clearing up operation to someone else.[FONT="]“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]0 -

As they work hand in glove should do quite well. A bit like Punch and Judy with the strings being pulled by Whitehall."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Either they are glove puppets, or they are string puppets. Punch & Judy tend to be glove puppets, like Sooty and Sweep.
Either way, I still can't work out whether they are puppets or muppets.0 -

Valid point, good spot.
Sooty and Sweep is probably a bet analogy too, at least there was some fire in P & J."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
