I think it's impossible
not to know that the G20 summit took place in London today. And the protests yesterday have also provided plenty of fodder for the news-hungry. It was reported by
BBC News that "City workers have been leaning out of windows to wave £10 notes at G20 protesters on the streets below". I found that quite an ironic sign of the times - back in the good ol' days, no self-respecting banker would taunt you with a
tenner...

I used to work near Liverpool Street and walked this route on my daily commute - past the
Bank of England and the
RBS branch that was vandalised and looted. It's quite surreal to see it like this. And I would have battled to get home through the crowds, even if I'd
donned a hoody.
