One Bank to rule them all,
One Chancellor to find them,
One Prime Minister to bring them all
And in the darkness blind them

Just you all wait (I'll be in Oz)

Further down the line they think "hang on a mo were a massive massive bank now. Lets use this power to screw more money out of the customer"

Bank charges up, ATM charges, overdraft charges up etc etc etc....

Or is it just me ????

too true some bright spark in the near future will also start getting banks to give loans and mortgages to people who cannot possible repay them with the premsise that if they default they will make even more money. Obviously completly forgetting that is one of the reasons we are in the state we are in now.

You'll be fine. There won't be any banks in a few years. All state owned.

It might be the cynic in me but now the banks are in the proverbial we're going to have a number of mergers (HBOS Lloyds) backed by Gordon over ruling the competition commission.

I can just see all the bankers on their knees thanking the government for the bail out.
