27 CFS purpose & vision used to assess merger

28 Coverage by the Financial Times Plenty of shareholders in storm-tossed banks must look to the calm waters of mutuality with envy. Just as they seem to face a choice between oblivion or disaster, Britannia Building Society and Co-operative Financial Services have laid out plans for a merger to create a so-called "super-mutual", immune to the vagaries of the stock market. If the mutuals weren't so nice about it, you might accuse them of deliberately mischievous timing.
