Ling pays £10,000 INTO Northern Rock
Extrovert Chinese Dragon's Den star, Ling Valentine, MD of £25 million through-put on-line contract hire car business, Lingscars.com, today joined the queue at a Newcastle branch of the troubled Northern Rock mortgage bank and DEPOSITED £10,000.
She says she hopes the gesture will help turn the tide of adverse publicity which has resulted in billions of pounds being withdrawn from the bank in a surge of customer panic.
Ling says, "I think the run on Northern Rock is stupid and ridiculous. People are acting like sheep, afraid of shadows. I came to this country as penniless immigrant from a totalitarian country. I know which governments you can trust. I have complete faith in British banking system and the Government's word. If a British Government Minister says my money is safe, that's good enough for me."
"I eat Dragon's for breakfast, remember. I'm not frightened by shadows. £10,000 is a lot of money to me - but I'm queuing to put my money where my mouth is."
After informing the bank of her intentions, she received a 'phone call from the CEO, thanking her for her confidence but doubting that her actions would stem the tide of public sentiment.
"This is not Zimbabwe. This is not Russia", said Ling
"I am driving there today in my 1966 London bus to pay in my £10,000 quids. British people should not let these damn foreigners in America affect their confidence."
