Nice work, if you can get it...

How do Barclays bankers sleep at night?

Probably, by getting their jim-jams on and hoping into bed. Its the former Woolies workers that need to worry; unemployment is on the rise, and they are already in the dole queue.

What a country! What a mess.....

Barclays Bank is ready to award bonuses of up to £1.1 million to corporate bankers who pulled the plug on Woolworths and other leading high street names. The bank’s commercial arm, which lent to a number of collapsed retail chains, will decide soon whether to pay out millions in bonuses to top bankers.
