I predicted this a few posts back (#211)...
As Lloyds Banking Group own the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and the UK Govt have a sizeable stake, I don't see it staying Scottish for very long if the Scots make the biggest tactical blunder since Goering switched from the airfields to London in the Battle of Britain - by voting 'yes'.
...on Wednesday at 1900hrs. By Thursday morning it was in the news! I wonder if I am Salmon D's "Treasury Mole"!!!
Is it me, or is he getting a bit paranoid? Also, I predict that if RBS move it will be a bit more than a 'brass plaque' move that he would have us believe. I reckon a couple of thousand jobs will go with it down to where the streets are paved with gold - Landaan taaan!
Anyway, at least Courtney can re-invest his mil pension if this happens!

PS. I knew I should have bought a lottery ticket on Wednesday!
