Eilidh Macdonald holds a protest sign with other customers of collapsed Farepak, during the HBOS Christmas reception, outside the HBOS headquarters in Edinburgh, Scotland December 11, 2006. Clive Thompson, chairman of Farepak's parent company, European Home Retail (EHR), told The Sunday Telegraph that the company's lender, HBOS Plc had rejected five proposed rescue packages before the business collapsed. However, HBOS said in a statement it banked for EHR and "neither ran the business nor owned it". REUTERS/David Moir (BRITAIN)
