A package has been announced which will aim to help the UK car industry during the economic downturn and is predicted to include guarantee loans for car munfacturers.

Banks seem to get away with anything nowadays - how they can charge people for simple things such as changing money, is beyond me. But Lloyds TSB have been criticised for doing just that.
A teacher from Merseyside has complained about the excessive handling fees that he was faced with when he went into his local branch to exchange two £20 notes and a £10 note for a £50 note. The purpose of the swap was for a gift for his niece.
However, to do such an easy task, he was told he would be charged a £5 handling fee - why? Because he wasn't a Lloyds TSB customer. If he had been a customer, he wouldn't have been charged. Why do banks feel the need to charge non-customers ridicuolous fees? It's just daft.
