LloydsTSB and HBOS in merger talks

[RoboCod]

Well I have friends and family in HBoS who were told nothing?

Infact one accusation levelled is that the board of HBoS did very little with regards to informing staff yesterday, with most staff hearing what was going on from customers coming in off the streets.

soo moot

This meeting happened a couple of weeks ago

Been a lot of articles on the net, mostly times and independent online talking that the current CEO of HBOS was too young and gung ho (Andy Hornby) to be at the helm of HBOS.

Coming as the top man at ASDA and bringing his supermarket sell at all costs attitude /experience and his marketing campaign to use HBOS counter staff in TV ads has not paid dividend, and the much cautious Lloyds /TSB have managed to take over what was once the UK’s largest mortgage provider at a very reasonable price.

Slow and steady wins the race, however remains to be seen just how much further the rabbit hole goes in the current financial world, more to come yet…….

Still, great time to get yourself some HBOS shares…. Well, it certainly was yesterday, as today they are around 46% higher then before Lloyds /TSB took them over…..

Least my savings are safe, wait and see what else happens…. In my town, Halifax and Lloyds /TSB are right next to each other.. Looks like I’ll be entering the Lloyds /TSB building for my banking in the coming months….

I work for LloydsTSB and we had a message come over the building yesterday about not talking to the press if any were outside the building, lol.

We got no new our end other then today when it was confirmed. It just said no comment on our intranet news pages
