# Oooo ninja deletion ;)
EDIT wttp by the way. I couldn't believe it during the football last night. Bradford and Bingley advert, bold as brass. Advertising B&B lifelong savings bonds.

Oh how I bounded off the seat to buy some.

# Building society.
being shored up by taxpayers' money just to finance the speculations of the bunch of hooray henrys that manage their customers' hard earned, but you're broadly on the mark, yes.

# Bank
they changed their status about 8 years ago, i wasn't eligible for a windfall as the two dates i needed to have 100 or more in my account on i was one day out each time.

# I know. I was
so thinking that myself dude. I thought wtf? Is this a joke? At least AIG have paid Man Utd up front from their own money and here are bingle and bongle advertising to the taxpayer that has just bailed them out. I seriously was perplexed. But thought I'd be the only one ;)

# My only thought that might work to redeem them...
was that they could have been already committed to that advertising slot before everything went the way of the pear.

But then I seriously doubt it would be that hard to flog off an advertising slot at half time in a United match...

# absolutely.
I was thinking more like they had a sudden windfall and thought lets get on the telly at optimum time now. I can't remember that last time I saw them advertise previously to last night. Not to within a year anyway.

# Yup
Trading whilst insolvent is a criminal offence for you & me.

Not that they're insolvent because they'll be propped up with taxpayers cash.

Which is nice.

# they never went insolvent
although they were in a much worse position than northern rock were when the govt stepped in, but that was mostly the media's fault for urging people to take their money out of the bank, when the safest place for it (at that time) was in the bank.

# I might be arranging loans

# well i can't do anything for the women part
i can however guarantee that Liverpool will be higher in the table come the January transfer window than UTD, is that enough of a surety?

# I'm not actually against government bail-outs for financial
institutions and to be fair we as a monetary power over the last 500 years have been built on the back of debt we owe to private banks ( the Bank of England became just that because the crown owed them so much ).
The thought of letting savings companies go tits up does not bear thinking about. They ought to be a little more humble when they do get a free fucking boost and not poke me in the eye with their new shiny cock when I'm watching the footy.

# in the sunday times
the weekend after Lloyds announced they were buying HBOS there was a big 6 page story on the recession, one one page there's a half page ad for the halifax, and over the next there's a half page ad talking about the BOS design award or something similar.
