Hey Sis…

Could you lend me a few quid?

Britain’s banks faced a black Monday today as a £4 billion shares sell-off was prompted by a major lender warning of plunging profits.
Bradford & Bingley’s drastic trading statement said more customers will fall into arrears and at one point it was forced to suspend shares. When trading resumed they fell by 25 per cent to 66p – dragging down the value of the “big five” banking giants.
B&B, the country’s biggest buy-to-let lender, said it expected profits to be badly hit because house prices were falling far more than expected.

    “‘Don’t panic’ pleas”–is that a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference?
