Banks will get us in the end...

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

A lot of bankers will be fired. In case of LTSB they'd prefer to stick to lowe cost base in Scotland rather than in the City and other places, finance is not going to be a very good place to work in for the next few years at least.

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.

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)

Ah yes, but consider this:

bigger bank = more data = requirement for corporate search engine!!
