The Banks and the Governor are all at sea,
In a somewhat leaky boat.
They had made some money, oh how it was funny,
How they couldn't hit a wrong note.
The Governor looked at their balance sheets,
And sang to the MPC,
O lovely bankers! O bankers my love,
The profits are there for all to see,
   To see,
   To see!
The profits are there for all to see!

The Banks said to the Gov, "Listen here Bruv
Are you wondering why we're all wearing frowns?
It's the credit crunch! It's killed our free lunch:
Brace yourself for a round of write-downs."
They railed away, for a month and a day,
And to Downing Street carried their moans,
And there in a chair sat Brown with a glare,
With taxpayers billions for loans,
   For loans,
   For loans,
With taxpayers billions for loans.

"Dear Brown, you won't regret taking all of our debt"
"Your debt?" Said the PM, "I will."
So they took themselves off in pursuit of the next trough
Leaving the public to foot the huge bill
Did they dine on humble pie? Wipe the tears from their eye?
Did they fall on their swords at the lost loot?
It may not be pretty, but this is the City,
They flew off with Golden Parachutes,
   Parachutes,
   Parachutes,
They flew off with Golden Parachutes.

The FTSE rose on 3 days last week - after falling for 4 out of 5 the previous week.

The DAX made nearly 240 points last week, compared to a 160 point drop the week before.

The DOW's average daily trading range this year is 341.6 ticks.

With the markets closing up more often than down last week, we must be officially out of the woods. I'm off to buy a house.
