well, thats Barclays sorted then,should be a piece of cake to do a quick deal ,especially with the Chinese and it's hardly likely that they'd take advantage of a struggling foreign bank ,is it?

Why are they throwing money at people then?

There have been a number of commercial auctions of late where Barclays have done the old sale and leasback on a shitload of their branches....sneakily sticking in 5 yr break clauses....the stupid investor see's an instituitional grade tennant. The wise investor see's weakness.
