Bankers follow Fred into bed
ALTHOUGH no one in the City wants to emulate Fred Goodwin — sinking a bank does not do your reputation any good — it appears that large numbers of bankers do have something in common with “Fred the Bed”.
Namely, they have cheated on their partners. According to a survey which was published on the Here Is The City website, 72 per cent of bankers have admitted to having at least one affair, most of them being with a colleague.
A quarter of male bankers who admitted to having an affair said they did so because their wife “now reminded them more of their mother”.
Surprisingly, it also found that 44 per cent of female bankers had affairs because they felt that their husbands had lost interest in them. Crikey.
