Are you a member of the HBOS SV gang?

Im a former HBOS Employee. Worked in Finance at HUTML before it changed to HIFML when the OEICs came into force back in 2001/2002.

Left cos the wages weren't up to scratch.

You're not that one that stole all the old ladies' money are you? For shame...

It was simply a matter of "re distribution of investment capital" if you don't mind mate!

Mostly Bimota's and Duke's and an R1 ridden here... ( not seen em since august tho )

Altho my sv outranks a couple of scoots and a honda something or other

You suprise me. I'd never realised that the small-print on these was actually written by humans. I'd always imagined a fiery hot circle of Hell (probably Malebolge or Cocytus) with rows of demons chained to desks, all busy writing these things.

Well maybe I painted too good a picture of what it was like to work there!! But yes I drafted the lot. Funny thing was, nobody supervised what I did, perhaps it ws because reading them is evenmore boring than writing them, so if I made a ****-up then it's still out there. Now, I read lenders' mortgage offers and wonder (a) who wrote them, and (b) how they manage to get away with charging such outrageous 'arrangement' fees. If I charged what they charge, I wouldn't get any work. But nobody seems to complain when it's added to the morgage.

Ach, it's Birmingham Midshires, anyone using them knows they're lucky to get a mortgage at all...

so not too many current hbo employee then, probably a good thing!!
guan- you are so right!

I've just been talked into a business visit at BM thought i could get away with doing nothing in that conference call

It's a bit weird... The 7thgear forums has a higher percentage of SV owners than we do
