miserableoldgit Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 No agenda here, but a curious bit of trivia - if true. Who is the odd man out in this list - and more importantly, why ? 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. Gordon Brown: Prime Minister and former Chancellor. Sir Terry Wogan: Presenter of Radio 2's 'Breakfast Show'. You're probably thinking .. "Terry Wogan" You're right. However, the actual reason might surprise you ................... Terry Wogan is the only one out of this motley crew who actually holds any formal banking qualification !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
