RBS fails stress test

Is that how Japan works?

Japan is going to have fun when the average age is 97. Hopefully there will be robots by then to look after them all....

Most of these very old Japanese people actually died years ago, but their families don't tell the authorities and claim their generous pensions instead.

I think they need to Nip that system in the bud........

I have to use RBS once a month. I must say the staff are the most arrogant and rude of any bank

Tell me about it. I went to open an RBS account in their Kensington branch about three years ago, and some grim-faced Rosa Klebb lookalike, with a sidekick standing by her, started literally interrogating me about why I wanted to open an account with RBS.

When I declined, due to the blatant paranoia and hostility, and said I had changed my mind and would open one with another bank I half expected her to rush round the table and try and kick me with a spiked shoe!

But although I escaped that fate, I still had to wait several minutes while they photocopied my passport (after telling them I no longer wanted the account)

I later heard that some criminals had been opening money laundering accounts with RBS at around that time. So it may be an investigation was in progress at the branch I visited.

State owned money laundering outfit, for Russian and Chinese oligarchs, happy to rinse their billions through the London property carousel.

Don't forget the £1.2bn spend on Williams and Glyn that was eventually scrapped.
