It doesn't look very good when the "Bank of Scotland" decides to leave Scotland
You can get Fred Goodwin back to start another national bank for you

You really are retarded

Bank of Scotland was bought by the Halifax in early 2000's.

Technology and management was migrated to Halifax. Andy Hornby was the Halifax chief exec, an English Chief exec of a Company with it's major employment centres in England.

Bank of Scotland has not been a Scottish Bank since about 2002. It has a Scottish banking licence and a Registered office in Scotland, and a small number of operational people, in comparison to it's centres in England.

We all know what it is down here, but I am not sure the Scots will like the symbolism such a move represents. Especially given their inward looking small minded Nationalism
