John left an annotation ( 4 May 2009)

Congratulations to William armstrong on this request. I see that in the Herald today (4 May 2009) the following masterly quote appears

"Having seen for himself how banking can go spectacularly wrong, Fred Goodwin obviously decided to show the business world how to do it properly the rest is the stuff of corporate legends"

corporate legends indeed, more like a fairy tale by Grimm. There is now a campaign to remove the honorary degree from Goodwin. well done William.
