Barclays needed a loan

[Ed]

Saw this on the Beeb website, thought it was funny and
deserved a wider audience. Perhaps I should offer to lend them the coppers in my daughter's piggybank.

I've been having a look on the housepricecrash.com forum recently, and they're using things like this as a sign of a massive economic crash this Autumn - bigger than the Great Depression!

I know they're known for being doom mongers, but it's got me a tad worried!

Oh well - at least it's Friday.:D

Dear Mr Barclays,

I'm sorry to inform you that at this moment in time we are unable to extend your overdraft.

Yours Sincerly

The Bank of England

To be honest Helen I wouldn't worry bout that your pic would suggest you have more pressing issues! Did you pass ure test riding like that? I guess it eliminates the need for "Lifesavers"
