Just in case you are not aware of the effect that Northern Rock's problems is having on Japan's banks, I can confirm that Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up, Bonsai Bank is cutting its branches and trading in the Kamikaze Bank have ceased trading after its shares nose dived.
At the Karate Bank 500 employees have been given the chop.
Analysts also report that something fishy is happening at the Sushi Bank as customers are getting a raw deal.

Better not to think about what 'Doggers' get up to. But I hear that 'Piggy Bank' has had to go to the market to save their bacon and get a slice of the action. Laughing

Pity Gordon Banks wasn't on the scene - they'd save everything! Laughing
