unsure about news...

It's a bit mixed this one.

Nationwide announce that it's going to "merge" (read: takeover?) Derbyshire and Cheshire building societies:

Good news on the basis that it means that the Cheshire isn't going to fold completely, but bad news both long and short term for jobs.

I can't see them keeping two branches in Macc, I can't see the brand surviving at all, and then there's the question of what will happen to the head office.
