Lloyds TSB has unveiled details of its £12.2bn takeover of HBOS.

In terms of what this means for the consumer, the BBC have quite a good Q&A.

Basically, if you have a mortgage or savings with either of the banks, there is nothing to worry about.

There will be job losses, however, and shareholders may lose out. I have a few shares in Lloyds TSB but I hoping in the longer term they will recover. (The shares were originally my grandad's old TSB shares so they have sentimental value too.)
