The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Eh, couldn't tell you for sure.  One of them was definitely a bank I had not heard of before.

Admiral Yi

To clarify, of the answers given so far Bank of England (duh) and Bank of Scotland are correct.

Need two more.
