HBOS TOP BANKERS ENJOY £330,000 JOLLY
I’ve just read this story on the Mail online, and if this story really is true then HBOS should apologies. It is now about time that the banking world began to act react responsibility.
According to the newspaper, more than 300 HBOS bankers enjoyed a boozy £330,000 junket - complete with five-star hotel rooms and a four course meal - while they are being bailed out with £11.5billion of taxpayer’s money.
Apparently there were 302 staff along with 68 guests, and they were champagne while watching TV comedian Patrick Kielty - who charges £20,000 a show.
Joking about the bankers excesses while Britain suffers a credit crisis, Kielty apparently told them: ‘Your secret is safe with me!’
Included in the cost of the jolly was £60,000 for hotel rooms, £4,000 for a champagne reception, £200-a-head for a four course meal and drinks, £45,000 on travel expenses, £100 goodie bags for each guest and prizes of £1,000 to reward the work of 16 mortgage brokers.
