Yeah, LBG were being cagey about it until it got out in the press the other week but internally it's been widely known since they announced the referendum. For all the claims about 'waiting until the people of Scotland decide' they're ready to start pulling out pretty much straight away. Keep a head office in Edinburgh that'll be treated as a foreign division like the offices in Australia but everything else that can be moved south will be within the first 12 months.
