Have those two LadyThings put you up to this? They're contemplating the winner passing the chocolate to them again.

Santander Barclays HSBC Natwest Yorkshire Anyway ed shouldn't you be out getting more loans instead of luring us with free chocolate? I am not sure if the ed you tagged is meant to be, but yes you are right!

Ok, back at my PC from meeting a few borrowers *cough*... The game is now changing to a game of Master Mind. For those who are not familiar with it, I have attached a helpful Excel spreadsheet (other software available), which gives an example of how it works. As such - at exactly 2pm today I will be uploading another spreadsheet with the scores of the entries so far. The 3 people who post the correct order of banks will each win a chocolate bar! (Those who have already made a guess can do so again). One answer per person please. Eds Favourite Chocolate Bars.xls (66 KB)

Before P2P, savers put a guinea in a piggy bank, now they smash the banks to become guinea pigs.

What fun. Great excuse to have a break from playing FFF on the SS SM.
I now know that the answer is: 1) Santander 2) Lloyds 3) Barclays 4) HSBC 5) Nationwide
My irrefutable logic is: 1) Applying the MasterMind clues from Ed tells me the first three banks, and that HSBC is 4th or 5th. It also tells me the remaining slot must be one of Clydesdale, Co-operative Bank, First Direct, HSBC, Nationwide, Yorkshire Bank. 2) SteveT answer was the only offering for two hours to meet these requirements, and if it had not been the correct answer, Ed would certainly have published an updated set of clues before now. 2 hours with no comment from Ed is an eternity in MT time.
When I win I would like to donate my Snickers bar to RebsRep aka Viperstripes because I think RebsRep deserves some comfort food having been treated unreasonably severely by the moderators, and I am starting to worry about Mrs Things figure if we give her any more chocolate bars.

As there isn't enough information yet to determine either of the location for 1 bank and which is the fifth....
santander lloyds barclays hsbc co op
personally, I find it slightly disturbing that my 'p2p' bank isn't even on the list!
