Not my experience, which is why I was so shocked when the libor scandal was revealed. This sort of thing is totally alien to what normally happens in banks. For sure you get the odd rogue trader that isn't caught (but not so likely now) but it's not endemic

They were reducing the libor quotes, which made lending cheaper. If there were to be compensation claims it would be for people paying the fixed side of interest rate swaps.

I was astounded when the LIBOR scandal broke, as I'd never seen any evidence of banks behaving in this way. At the time there were claims that Brown had instructed the banks to do it. Well, it all seems to be coming out now. Libor: Bank of England implicated in secret recording - BBC News

I recommend one of those on hob espresso makers. £20, great coffee, not tied to expensive packs (use any coffee you want) and no electronics to go wrong.

I actually thought that Ranson's plan was a good one: don't spend loads but buy some young promising players. If we ever get another owner willing to invest that's what I would do. I simply don't believe that booze and burger money makes that much difference - hang the stadium for now, keep...

Always hated cheese, now love it - but not blue cheese still. My music tastes have also expanded; they played 'Ring My Bell' on radio 6 about a week ago and I enjoyed it! We never had any fancy food when I was growing up and I discovered olives when I moved away at 18. Absolutely love them -...

Just saying, that if all the moderates leave the Labour party then it really is lost forever. Where's Kinnock when you need him? Just think, had the right Miliband won, we might well have a Labour government now. Ed should go down as the most selfish and stupid politician ever.

Go on then, I'll bite again. Are you giggling as you write?

A couple of thoughts. 1. Nobody comes out well IMO on the Livingstone debacle. Livingstone himself because even though what he said this time wasn't explicitly racist IMO (he's stating something he believes to be a fact), he's said it in an insensitive way and refused to apologise and...

I just met two multi-millionaires in the Penrith tea rooms who claim to be behind a bid. I overheard them saying they were going to buy and install a jukebox.

Most right wing ever, not just a generation surely?

Neville Chamberlain has also agreed a deal to take over for next season. Document blurred for legal confidentiality.

A phrase normally used of a dictatorship. And yet we have a democracy, Just because there is no other party with a moderate manifesto it doesn't make the UK a "one-party state".

I don't hate anyone. OK, maybe Mao; Stalin and Steve Jobs.

If he keeps playing as he did at Wembley he'll attract interest from Premiership clubs again. As it is, I won't be surprised to see Championship interest in the summer.

You are a very negative person. However, on this occasion I kind of agree with you that consultancies are useless. You get to see someone at the start who is knowledgeable about your business but once they are in the door they flood you with people who are clueless and are measured by their...

Facebook is full of people saying that Trump attacked Syria with chemicals to give himself an excuse to invade. Too many people for it not to be true.

Wait until the law suits have been exhausted. Then they will sell.

Legs don't go in three weeks, they go gradually.

I also have a message for Fisher & Seppala: "You used the last of the milk. Can you get some more when you pop out for the sausage rolls?"
