So are they changing the branding? Will my Halifax account now be Lloyds TSB?

The 8p left in my bank account better be safe.

Tricky move from the government, they don't have much choice, but it's not very good in the eyes of competition in the high street bank sector.

Relying on the Free Markets was always going to be a mistake. State Power!

Or something.

I hate that Howard bloke and all his fucking stupid singing colleagues. 

The deal ain't done yet, shareholders approval could prove a sticking point apparently.

I've got 2 current accounts, a credit card (nothing on it atm) and an ISA with Halifax. I thinking about doing a Northern Rock and bailing out.

More importantly neither has the EU, specifically the DG Competition. Nothing the shareholders, Brown or Darling can do if the EU Commission  doesn't approve the merger, which at the moment looks unlikely.

we came up with a plan in the office a couple of days ago:  if you could get about 50 people to just stand outside a branch of a bank just before it opens one morning, on a high street somewhere in full view of passers by, do you think the manager would pay you to go away in case you started a run on the bank ?
