Lehman Brothers’ Workers Save Jobs By Playing Bingo
YOU join us for another game of Tabloid Bingo. Today the tabloids are counting the numbers of bankers falling from the windows of Lehman Bothers’ offices.
DAILY MIRROR: “About 4,500 Lehman Brothers staff …may lose their jobs.”
They have chance…
DAILY MAIL: “Some 4,500 Lehman workers lost their job in Britain”
Damn!
SUN: “25,000 fires, 5,000 in the UK”
DAILY STAR: “Half a millions jobs go in USA after bank crash”
DAILY EXPRESS: “Britain was on the brink of all-out recession last night with 500,000 jobs predicted to go by the end of the year.”
Bingo!

How’s the Chancellor getting on with working out the Inflation rate this morning? and who and what shall he tax to get enough to keep the fat cats in turbot?

Ooo, it’s been a while - but I say windows. Helping the environment too, now that we have energy-saving bulbs.

Though sadly no longer being served to the hallowed ones of Lehman Brothers, and it’s all our fault as the Washington Post has noted:
‘The British bank Barclays remained the last hope to buy Lehman. But a flurry of conversations with Barclays’ British regulator, which was concerned about whether the bank was overreaching for Lehman, suggested that the possibility was remote.’
Regulators to the ready, quick march!
