The news that Barclays is in exclusive “merger” talks with ABN Amro has obviously generated a lot of comment. I’ll leave all the clever-Trevor stuff about whether or not the proposed tie-up makes sense to the well-paid “analists” who know far more about these things than I do, even if, as my regular readers will vouch, I too have an amazing ability to talk out of my nether regions.
