Who is the odd one out of this lot?
Lord Stevenson, former chairman, HBOS
Andy Hornby, former chief executive, HBOS
Sir Fred Goodwin, former chief executive, RBS
Sir Tom McKillop, former chairman, RBS
John McFall MP, chairman of Treasury select committee
Alistair Darling, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Sir Terry Wogan, presenter of Radio 2 breakfast show.
Answer: Sir Terry Wogan. He is the only one with a banking qualification.
It is a shame that some of these financial whizzkids didn't listen to the Psalmist...
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom"
Enjoyed your post on getting a number of meals out of one chicken! Love making soup all winter long! Oh, and that trivia is fun - I'm 2 billion seconds old, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi just dropping in to say hi. I will have to catch up with lots on your blog. Can you send me your email as I am making my blog private. Only I will be able to see your email as i approve all my comments, so it wont be visible
ReplyDeleteThats if you want to drop in !
Good ol' Wogan, he's a clever boy.
ReplyDeleteI listen to Radio 4 yet I never seem to catch Terry Wogan... I think he must always be on while I'm at work. Even more reason to be at home, 'eh ;)
ReplyDeleteSera- Terry Wogan is on Radio TWO - weekdays from 7.30-9.30am. I usually miss him cos I listen to the Today Programme [unless we are out in the car together - Bob cannot STAND Today, so we hear TW instead]
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you are WAY too young for TW, I think he aims at the Older Generation [even older than me, i kid myself!]
