  • I somehow think in the current climate that BR list is going to grow quite quickly!

    Can`t believe Lehmann have gone bust!!...I feel for the employees as it must be such a worrying time as many will have had share schemes that are their life savings that are practically worthless!!

    Sorry to be a pessimist but if a Bank that big can`go down the pan` then anyone can!!!

    list not to meantion bearings.

    The 'bearings' in the front wheel of my bike have just gone 'bust'. Does this qualify? :confused:

    We went to Chelt Lit Fest yesterday to see Julie Walters (very cultured, I know - bought tickets before realising BR was needed!!:o)

    She was introduced by a high up rep from HSBC, who sponsor the Fest. Bless him, when he came onstage and said where he was from the whole place roared with laughter! :D He dealt with it quite well, by making a crack at Iceland which also brought some laughs. To be fair, I don't think HSBC have had as many probs as others!

    Julie was excellent, btw!;)
