The Anonymous Widower

David Would Not Be Amused

My friend, David, finished his career as the Business banking Director of Lloyds Bank.

He was a proper banker, although he was a bit of a rogue.  But one on the side of the bank and his clients!

So when I read in the Telegraph, about the dreadful mess Lloyds is now in, after the takeover of HBOS, I wonder what he would have thought of the fiasco.

I know some of the things he did to sort out serious problems and I know he would not have been amused. I suspect that Prudence would not be on his Christmas card list.
