Ironically they were very well run group, but crazy bosses caved in and bought Halifax tulip - if they hadn't then they'd need no bailout and could have bought best bits of Halifax on the cheap.

If folks knew half of what was going on here (lbg) this would be sitting at 20p not 32p.......

No. That was the day they gave you your own office and login.

Not RBS, but it has an IT infrastructure with 2500 applications of which half are supposedly not used, but they can't switch them off because they don't know what will happen; most of the app admins were sacked, app admin was moved to India and is now carried out by people with no functional knowledge. Money disappears in some of those apps and nobody knows how to find it. Luckily, up to now it's only been small sums that they can compensate. Luck is a bit like wine; great while it lasts, but runs out.

Something also worth consideration, while the UK might have been spared the attention of the markets by printing funny money. That is how this funny money was used. Used by the banks to bet with! Bet against countries pushing them towards default. This is taking ethical to whole new lows. I think once the bottom falls out of this form of money making the country shall be in pretty pickle.

Most banks lost control of their software years ago, it really turned pear shaped for most in the late 90s when they let mainframe developers loose on massive java projects after 1 week of training and a couple of copies of java world read on the bog.
