From the article : " Just last week the bank denied it was facing funding problems." Now it wants £3 billion pounds!!!!
Just like Bradford & Bingley, RBS, etc. did. You have to laugh when people on this discussion board believe a thing these bankers say when they have the begging bowl out. Don't give them your money!!

Quite so. What I don't get is that they make these sort of statements on the public record. If you or me told blatant untruths like this we'd be put in front of a judge pretty sharpish.0

They may not have as many funding problems as you might think :rotfl:"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like its heaven on earth." - Mark Twain0
