You would at least expect that when they quote FACTS (rather than opinion) that they will get them right. Highlighting the price of RBS shares they showed them as being £509 ten years ago and only £28 now when in fact the figures were £5 and £0.28p (approx). The girl doing the business news knows absolutely fuck all about her subject and it just makes you wonder on what criteria they get these jobs (don't bother answering, i already know

).

Yup, legs that go to heaven. I'd buck her no probs.

£5 per share down to 28p is a hell of a drop. It shows the mess the banks got themselves in.

I wish they would have been £509. I used to work for a company that was part of RBS and had a share save scheme. All I got was my savings back when I cashed em in.
