Bobtanian - maybe whoever reported your post has a very down to earth vocabulary and could only think of one word, they did not consider that "W" could also mean, Wasters, Wrongdoers, Wallies, or Wolves ;-) |

'Robert Peston tests the arguments made by the authors of a new book who claim the financial crisis was caused by exploding household debt - not by the banks'. |

BrianW - I accept that bank shares have got some distance to go to get back to their pre-crisis levels, I just wish they would do what banks used to do, which is to support businesses, especially small businesses, and that they concentrated on that instead of speculating on the international money markets and derivatives. |

We look upon banks, bank managers & all types of investment advisers with the same mixture of envy, admiration & dislike with which the poor favour the rich in every generation. |

Women in the Daily Fail last week complaining they are struggling to survive on £150,000 per annum. Life must be really tough for them unlike the rest of us trying to get by on if we're lucky the average wage of 26,000 per annum. Despite a full time wage I earn less than half the average though. :-( |

Even if bank shares are rising they have got a long, long way to go to recoup their fall. |

For goodness sake, whoever reported Bobtanian's post needs to learn to control those twitches in their typing fingers - I would like to why they RR'd it :-| |

Banking shares lead the FTSE 100 higher today as banks are among the top gainers. Barclays was the star performer on the index, rising 1.5%, while HSBC added 1.2% and Royal Bank of Scotland made gains of 1%. |
