If it is good enough for the BBC and ITV well we can do it too. To celebrate the holiday season, here's some of the highlights of our last year.
The best of our shows about banks…
In the last of our trilogy of bank stories in celebration of the bank holiday, we bring you a spanking good story.
It's about two British banking giants who have been quite naughty when it comes to lending, but now they want to make amends.
Actually they want us to give them more money so they can leverage themselves out of trouble, but hey, what's a billion or 12 between friends.
Don’t let the News of the World see this, they might accuse you of being “grotesque sexual deviants”…!
Angela Knight is a pretty formidable individual. An engineer, a former managing director and then as a Conservative MP she served as economic secretary to the Treasury in the Major government.
Losing her Sheffield seat in 1997 she became head of the Association of Private Client Investment Managers (APCIMS) before moving last year to head the British Bankers’ Association.
A baptism of fire you may think. It may not surprise you to learn that she has some strong views. Whether or not you agree with them is a different matter…
Everyone loves to hate banks. The kind of places that lend you an umbrella when the sun is out and then want it back when it’s raining.
But the reason they do is so they can make money for their shareholders. Loads of it. And in the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland, we’re talking oodles.
So, if you can’t beat them, join them and get in clover, or maybe heather, but you get the drift.

Fine words RBS, but hang on? something missing…um? let me think????
Ah! what happens when RBS are found screwing the customer?
What happens when RBS forget the customer needs service? no answer?
Well let me help… I think the customer gets very unhappy and says “screw you”!
So what do you think? Do the RBS need to be nice to customers?
What is good service? Has service got anything to do with profits?
Its is a real hummer isn’t it!
The old cliché has it that as far as the stockmarket is concerned one should go away in May and come back again on St Leger Day. What? And miss out on all the fun? Reeling retailers. Broken banks. Crunching credit. There’s so much more than mere capital accumulation, yield and dividend. Not only are there bargains out there but also more than the odd laugh.
