Given that we collectively own 40% of the institution, I don’t think it unreasonable that these gentlemen should make use of their share of the Lloyds plaza.

I regret that I didn't spot this one. I'm now trying to work out which Council document explains where they are squirreling away all the money.

A thought for the Bank Holiday
