HOW disappointing to see the queues outside branches of Northern Rock.
As Darren Blenkiron pointed out (HAS, Sept 18), Northern Rock has been a generous supporter of sports and charities, especially in the North-East.
Northern Rock, of all financial organisations, least deserved this shabby treatment by its own customers.
It may not be allowable, but those loyal to Northern Rock should get a loyalty bonus.
I asked several people in a queue why they were withdrawing their money when they had been assured their deposits were safe.
The response I got was inarticulate and totally illogical.
Hopefully, this crisis is past and investors will flock to support this excellent bank.
