I caught a brief snippet this mornign of an interview he recently gave, and 
he made the comment

"It would be irrational of Nothern Rock depositors to withdraw their money 
now that their savings have been guaranteed"

Doh! Not exactly the smartest move in such a delicate situaion to make a 
statement that could rub your depositors up the wrong way.

Isn't PR tuition mandatory at CEO level?

BTW, any thoughts from the group about purchasing NR shares? Apparently 
loads of people jumped in last Friday in the expectation that shares would 
rebound strongly yesterday. These speculators may be a tad worried now 
though Darling's desperation measure may improve things.

BTW - A classic bit of dark humour (I think!) from the BBC "have your say 
forum yesterday". Someone claming to be a NR Employee wrote ..."and the 
Chancellor is backing us 110 percent!"    LOL! ROFL!
