Coming February will see Silly Season again, when bankers rush up to the usual place to grab their bonuses, worth three or four times their top salary.
They slap each other round the back and start demanding how much they want. They vouch for each other, and one announces the other's bonus; then this one in turn announces the bonus of the next one...
The merry-go-round starts, and they start singing their usual songs ...le monde est une merde... and how they repossessed tens of thousands of homes from bankrupt families.
Hopefully, a number of them will be behind bars come Silly Season.
