Mrs. Beckham

Some time ago I discovered that you can ask Google to send you an e-mail message every time Google finds a new web page containing content of interest.  This is called Google Alerts, and it's a great, free service.

I get an e-mail message pretty much every day from Google with new "Coutts" pages.  Most of the articles relate to the Coutts Museum of Art in Kansas, a criminal named Coutts, and a couple of athletes named Coutts.  Once in a while the Google e-mail mentions the bank, but usually the articles are quite dry and dull.

Today's e-mail made me smile.  Google had just found an article about Coutts trying to attract wealthy women, like Victoria Beckham and wealthy divorcees.

I hope they don't inadvertently overcharge Mrs. Beckham.  According to the IMDB, her luggage was once lost on a flight, and she demanded free airfare for life.

The full article is on the Scotsman website --- click here.

Aren't there more ex-Coutts employees who can give us more interesting news than this?
