I think there's a branch in belfast.

They've hit rock bottom.

I have a few bob with them.

Not particularly worried as now the UK Exchequer will bail me out if they go pear shaped.

Thanks lads Ap Narth

You are guarnteed up to £35,000 anyway with the banking insurance scheme.( if you are that lucky!)

They are prime picking now for a major bank. Anyone with a mortgage would then have the same current terms applied also.

I also have a few shekels with them, rather less than £35000, hopefully they'll increase their interest rates now to overcome the bad publicity.

Mightn't be such a bad thing!

Northern rock having been backed by the Bank of England now has one of the highest implicit credit ratings of any bank, higher than any other high street bank. Your money is actually safer there than any other high street bank. And yes they'd be a good short term share investment. Take over target that they are.
