It's trying to get them to blend in with the rest of us. Some of them could do with a couple of quid more spent on deodorant too.

Status: offline 		Exactly. But it doesn't help the media labelling these people bankers, because by and large they aren't, but people just like you and me who just happen to work in the City of London - secretaries, clerks, agency workers, and so on. And even if they were bankers and financial analysts and stuff, so what? Is it their fault that we have so many issues in our economy and society today? Hardly.

It's so sad that we have become such a divided and divisive nation, hurting, seemingly slways looking round looking for someone to blame, to point the finger, to accuse, to whine and complain. If it isn't the Government or Gordon Brown it was Thatcher 20 years ago, go cast your vote in a little under two years and it will be David Cameron perhaps and the Tories, or it's the Polish migrant workers, asylum seekers, celebrities, chavs, the 'gangsta' element of the black community, yadda yadda yadda..

Yes I am protesting, yes things aren't right, but you know I'm not going to venture out of my apartment and try and circumvent the restrictions and diversions in place. Why should I? The only people I will be venting at the people just like me, the public transport workers who are just as exploited, the police officers who are just as exploited, why should I be going out to make things more difficult for these people?

I'm doing my protest a different way.. I'm going all out to do what I can to change what I am able to around me, to bring people together - and i don't care whether they are rich or poor, bankers or unemployed, Tories or Labour supporters, kinky, vanilla, migrant workers, it doesn't matter - they are still people.

Now is not the time for protest or intimidation, it's no longer the time for confrontation, anger or laying the blame, but in accepting things for what they are and reaching out and trying to cooperate and work towards some sort of solution with the people who are around you. It's time for us to forget our differences and what keeps us apart, but to stop and think and try to recall what we have in common and what brings us together, and how we can help each other make things better.

Status: offline 		I left the bank back in 2004.  There were days when we would dress down, but that was only once a month on a Friday to raise money for charity.

Dressing down in a branch is a bad idea.  Dressing down in a banking centre or call centre I feel is to be encouraged.
