You've said several times, Mr. Browne, that when you left the bank in September '07 that it was in - I think you used the expression - "rude health". Mr. Moran, when he gave evidence, on page 76, he was talking about how it had started. He said, "the start of the liquidity crisis or the first signal that became available in the market", that was August 2007, and then he goes on to talk about Northern Rock, which, clearly, you would be aware of. So is Mr. Moran wrong? I mean, lots of people have given evidence that, really, things started to get very tight August-September, really beginning to feel the tension by October-November, never mind then what happened when you had left.
