And within a month so will the rest of us. Nice 'innit'?

Why is it a big deal? Gordon will just buy it, another few billion isn't going to make much difference at this point.

big news - not good at all for anyone concerned -

Please explain why it is bad if you are an LLOY shareholder?

The government were already supposedly going to take a stake in them tomorrow anyway.

I'd have thought HBoS went to Alistair over the weekend who offered to let them keep all buildings, staff and write down all their losses, which'd leave Lloyds sat there holding their nobs

[grumbledoak]

.83 x 189 = 157; HBOS at 128.

Not a shock, really. But it should all be 'fun' tomorrow morning.

[i want an aero]

what's a few more billions to fat cat bankers, when the rest of us will have to pay for it
