    Yep, and worst of all, that could lead to other insurers falling over as well after them.

            This "h" dropping is giving me an 'orrible 'eadache; I think I need a couple of aspirates.

                  Just talked to a mate who's a contractor at RBS. Basically said that we are only just finding out who has the debt from the credit crunch, deals will be made and takeovers in the next 6 months, then new jobs will be set up. Reckons a year from now we will be back on the up.....

                    By most accounts they need $80 billion within the next 2 days.

                    Not going to happen IMO. And yes, it's going to get very messy.
