Sunday's Snow

Yes, it's the first snow this winter in Stainland. Have had an interesting morning with various politics programmes on TV. Our present MP Craig Whittaker was on the local politics panel and one of the issues which was discussed was 'breaking up the banks.'

I certainly believe there is much merit in this and, with a large banking HQ and services facility in the Borough, I would certainly support breaking up Lloyds into various regional banks, our own 'Yorkshire North Eastern' regional bank being centred here.

I feel this would bring much job security to those employed locally by the new regional bank and, a great tie between local businesses and their local lender.

Having seen how this type of local and regional banking works in Germany, I think it would work very successfully here too.

And, let the people vote with their feet.

I would be the first to want to move my current and savings accounts into our 'Local Bank' and away from the centralised and too distant 'London Banks' with their 'Casino Divisions'. Many would I am sure follow and move their banking needs too!
