Today, Lloyds,RBS, NatWest, B&Q and virgin media have all experienced major problems with their computer systems. Apparently all the traffic lights in Glasgow were stuck on green for some time. Can you find any confirmation or explanation on the internet with regards to the above? Can you heck as like. Something going on that they feel we don't need to know about? Cue Twilight Zone theme music.

Have you got a link to any information regarding recent problems with RBS? My company claimed there was a problem when our salaries were late and blamed a computer problem at the bank, but I haven't been able to find any independent information to verify this.

If it's not referenced on the Tinternet, it never happened.

It's probably the same problem as last time, when some scrote chucked a wheelie bin full of burning diesel down a BT service hatch, burnt out a lot of important cables. Good to know how resilient our network really is !!

I can confirm that NatWest were hit by a major computer outage on Thursday, and NatWest are part of RBS.
