Jeez, didn't see that coming!

They were always going to offload some shares as soon as the last 'major' hurdle to dividends was 'resolved'.

Between dividend payments and the state of the economy since they 'rescued' the world (Gordon Brown ) any loss more than makes up for the pain and suffering millions would have gone through if the bank (and others) had folded.
That wont help the pensioners and long time small share holders who have almost lost everything since the collapse but something is better than nothing.
I still think Fred and his team of 'advisors' need locking up. They should lose everything, if only to put them on a level footing with all the lives they've ruined.

Just in case you're still wondering what you are doing wrong, Ross.......

So, random thought.
Its not about the money (which it obviously is, albeit 'only' £10 million) so why not:

• Staff the branches with RBS staff who know about the apps.
• provide coffee and free wifi for customers
• Staff can educate customers on how to use the apps
• provide private cubicle/office space for transactions which require more than just the 'apps'
• Deposits can be made via those funky machines that take cheques/cash

By removing some of the banking functions (and staff) there is less annual cost to offset any incurred costs.
All at the risk of being accused of putting local coffee shops out of business.


OK, so its not a real solution (if it was im sure its already been thought of and dismissed) but you'd think there would be some wacky solution.

You should get the top job at RBS.... but you won't because you have far too much common sense and intelligence.

Looks like someone at virgin money was paying attention
Ignoring the article, just looking at the pictures.
