We are not seeing any signs of recovery in the level of lending from any British banks, nor are we seeing anything to suggest that that is going to change in the near future.

This sent a massive amount of traffic over my way to see if we could get the community moving to achieve this limited swarm badge.  Amongst all that noise then came the megaswarm and epicswarm badge news that was also starting to come in from the far away but more on that later.
