The photo in one of the papers of the BOV president dressed in blue jeans made me choke on my morning toast. Nowadays, the wearing of jeans is not longer hype without the full uniform, i.e., an equally faded jacket, beard and beret in true Quevara style. But then, the late Che was a bit of a Robin Hood; quite unlike our banks!

More appropriately, our Bank Presidents could resort to full black leather gear, complete with sawn-off shotgun, twirling chain and roaring Harley. That would be more in keeping with their overdraft rates!
