Hefty HBOS pack provides short-term boost

The great day is here and my Lloyds TSB/HBOS offer documents have arrived. The pack is, as predicted, a whopper. The scheme document is 352pp plus covers. Also included is a 16pp Q&A, a 4pp voting form, and a pre-paid envelope. The whole polybagged lot weighs in at getting on for a kilo. Ooof. Poor postie.

Imprima, via BGP, has been keeping quite a few presses turning up and down the country with this little lot. Given the size of the mailout, as HBOS has more than two million shareholders, some may still be turning as I type. It's a tiny glimmer of high margin work amid the many dark days we're living through at present.
