    Wonderful news to see a decent profit from a British firm.

    Not sure how good £2.5bn is as a rate of return against capital without looking at the accounts so it is difficult to judge it, but a profit is a profit and that has to be good.

    Thanks for giving us some good news for a change Reg.

    I have not caught up on the HSBC story yet but this must refer to Osborne's idea of a loan guarantee scheme. I did read a report that they are supportive of the aim of the scheme but have some justified worries about costs. Discussions and negotiations are still ongoing. Personally I am not sure that such a scheme is wise but I am open to be convinced.
