#1 Ignores why they went into the foreign loan market - maybe because socialist policies and bureaucratic regulation [for regulation sake] at home made return on investment minimum.

#3 RBS bought the largest bank in Western Australia. And rebranded it using the gay theme song, Go West and named it with a rather unfortunate malapropism - BankWest.

All in all, a marketing disaster.

#4 BankWest is more of a spoonerism than a malapropism!?
