Hands up, I got it wrong Saturday, November 24, 2007
When I said bankers had got thick skins, so probably wouldn't care about being called whimpering dogs by Guy Hands, evidently they decided to yank his chain.
Perhaps lenders have decided to extract their pound of flesh given the shortage of funds available. But howsoever it transpired, Guy has issued a public apology emphasising he meant no offence.
One banker had apparently sent him a box of dog biscuits, suggesting he use them sparingly.
Evidently even masters of the universe need to keep their pets/slaves/serfs/allies on good terms and not humiliate them just in case they might be needed at a later date..
