In all the turmoil I forget to find time to mention the demise of Brandford and Bingley. In the 1980s I had the fortune to live in Bingley, just a couple of hundred yards from the B&B headquarters. These were affectionately known by the locals as "Dalek city". For the simple reason that the yellowy/creamy concrete monstrosity was so out of step with the rest of Bingley's architecture.
As a former local resident I was attracted to saving with the then then building society, and eventually, received the flotation shares. I had plenty of time for the then chief executive, Christopher Rodrigues but sold my shares when he left.
