    Well having worked in the past with as you call them retards l myself class these as less fortunate people than myself, i can only now presume that you are indeed a truly horrible person to quote such a wording :mad: shame on you, and l hope that a great misfortune should come you way.

    My god - you really are an idiot aren't you? I think I'll save the effort in taking this any further as you seem incapable of rational thought. Someone states " I'll take a bet with you, no saver with hbos group of companies will lose their savings" and you come back with "So you are stating that any one who has savings over £35k will get all their money back should any and not just HBOS fail" . Did you actually read any of that?

    As for your comments about me.... I can only laugh at the inaccuracy (which seems to be your trademark) :rotfl:

    As for your sharedealing account I don't see a problem with that, they don't
    own the shares in the account, you do. I guess if it went bust you might have
    problems operating the account but in reality it should keep running as I expect
    that part of the business actually makes a profit (or less of a loss anyway), the asministrators would keep it open and there must be some way for you to sell your
    shares. However I guess it is possible they could sell your shares fraudulently or something like that.
  • Are Tesco finance linked to this group? I read somewhere that they were run by Bank of Scotland... hmmm.
  • rbs but tesco owns all of that now

    I read on a link posted here that the guy who runs Tesco bank was sacked by HBOS because he was unhappy with HBOS's reckless lending policies, so I expect Tesco bank is safer than most.
