This is just the way Gordo and George wanted it to be. What's good for the banks has got to be good for everyone, innit?

It's safe to say they won't be posting tulip on this board during working hours.
Or will they?
Of course!
The quants I know (not at RBS but a very similar bank) do actual 'work' for perhaps 4 hours a day, and spend the rest of the time goofing off. I was once asked by a programme manager to come to one side... where he quietly told me what my 25min social banter with a risk analytics contractor had just cost him... and said he hoped it was very valuable insight we were sharing. 2k in some specialisms is cheap!

I wonder who is going to get the large fine from the Data Registrar.
