Pirates: In an adventure with bankers

I was most amused by this:

which is a Pirate flag flying over the original Royal Bank of Scotland HQ.

I'm going to blame Occupy Edinburgh, who are based about 50 feet away...

Somewhat sad that absolutely no papers picked it up.

It was in several papers. Certainly Daily Record and Scotsman covered it. However as it happened on Christmas Day it was somewhat stale news by the next print issues.

Cheers. Wasn't showing up on Google News in my searches, but it might now be a bit old for that.

Not convinced less important stories appear in online editions! Flag went up about 21.00 on Christmas Eve, no idea when it came down but I don't think it would warrant high press coverage for what theyd consider 'a prank'.

Oh, I wasn't expecting a _lot_ of press coverage. Glad it got a little bit!
