The UK's biggest union will start talks this week with the 3,500 Royal Bank of Scotland staff about to lose their jobs to assess what action to take next in what it describes as a "horror story".
A surge in bank lending. A speculative rush to buy houses – not just second properties, but third or fourth homes. Soaring property prices. Banks hiding the loans off their balance sheets. Surely it could not be happening again? And not so soon? But it is – in China.
There's a new and noisy book just out which you must read to discover why the young and the old are shouting at each other over the supper table in a way I've not heard since those great divides over drugs'n'rock'n'roll or even the Iraq invasion.
First London, the investment bank that attracted attention last year for its links to a convicted fraudster and its role in the short-lived takeover of Notts County Football Club, has gone into administration.

With their soaring "Tomahawk Chop" chant rolling out of the stands and away over to Dartmoor, the kings of the Premiership's new frontier sent Gloucester back to Kingsholm to salve their bloodied scalps. Exeter Chiefs arrived in the top flight with an uproarious win in something approaching a cup-final atmosphere and though their stalwart coach, Rob Baxter, wisely restrained any notion of a lap of honour and declared his preference for apple cider over champagne, it was quite just that the promoted club's supporters in this small but happy part of England's west went wild. It is Leicester away next week, but that can wait.
A fourth Pakistan cricketer is under investigation by the sport's world governing body over alleged match-rigging, it has been reported. The unnamed player joins team captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir as the subjects of an International Cricket Council investigation.
Draw no conclusions for the rest of the season from this error-strewn Aviva Premiership match. London Irish and last season's beaten finalists, Saracens, will play far better but the Irish were delighted with victory and a bonus point that was secured with the last move of the match.
Leicester will wear nine stars across the back of their shirts at Northampton this afternoon: one for each of the Tigers' record number of league titles. A wag at Franklin's Gardens, which will be packed out for this juiciest of Premiership derbies, says the stars will be useful as grips for cleaning their opponents out of the breakdown. After all, as the old song goes, won't it be "same old Leicester, always cheating"? "The statistics tell a different story," says George Chuter, the England hooker entering his 11th season as a Tiger. "We've got a reputation of being cheats but the stats show that last year we were the least penalised team in the league."
There was a gala feel here yesterday, thanks to a record-breaking crowd for the double-header with which the London clubs open the Premiership season. But the sense of anticipation was diluted as Wasps and Harlequins ground almost to a halt in a nervy second half.
Australia won an extraordinary Tri-Nations match in Bloemfontein yesterday. The Wallabies, who beat South Africa 41-39, scored five tries to three, gained revenge for last week's 44-31 defeat in Pretoria and secured second place in the tournament table. They will play New Zealand, the runaway winners, in the final match in Sydney next Saturday.
Switzerland are turning to their old guard and some Young Boys – one of them a north Londoner – for Tuesday's European Championship qualifier against England in Basle.
Already, Scotland are trying to suppress a feeling of dismay. The Euro 2012 qualifiers have only just kicked off but a sense of anxiety has asserted itself, recognisable as the mood that comes to characterise every campaign. Under a new manager some old traits, and some old failings, were revealed again to be the stubborn heart of the national team.
This is a quick, simple and delicious way to serve cauliflower, similar in many ways to cauliflower cheese, but lighter. Pair with roast chicken or any other white meat. Sourdough has a lovely flavour; make the breadcrumbs by pulsing broken-up slices in a food processor.
Jesper Groenvold is 52, returning to London from the United States, and needs a car. He wants comfort on the motorway and good handling when on the back roads. The car can't be too big because Jesper will be fighting for parking spaces in London NW1. He is also a keen cyclist, so getting a bike in the back is important, and most of the time there will only ever be two people in the car. Easy to clean leather seats are a must, and his budget is around £15,000.
This is a very enjoyable meal, except for one thing: there's a curled green caterpillar in the middle of the plate. He's not even a small caterpillar. He's a long, fairly fat boy with a healthy yet unappetising wiggle to him, despite his stay in the salad. The waitress is surprisingly unsurprised: "The leaves are organic," she tells me, as if that explains why they didn't get a proper wash.
Sandsend is the new Southwold. You heard it here first – unless, of course, you live in the north-east of England and are now sighing impatiently, in which case please forgive my ignorance. So, Sandsend. This little seaside town is a couple of miles north of Whitby in North Yorkshire and has a charm and freshly scrubbed appeal missing from many of our more, shall we say "developed", resorts. The local shop sells great coffee and locally made jam. The coffee bar on the promenade has vibrant hanging baskets and good lunchtime surfers' fuel.
Creamy white clusters enfurled by the palest green leaves: cauliflower is both flavoursome and beautiful. From silky smooth soups to simple purées and salads, this humble, very English vegetable can be a wonderful addition to any table.
Electric cars really are coming.
