Mob Mentality Hits Bishopsgate

G-20 protests on 4MAT's doorstep.

Protesters came up Bishopsgate from Bank like an tsunami of anger, creeping towards RBS's dual properties. I've never seen so many police in my life. Some of the 4MAT lads went in for a peek, but I was happy to look from afar, as I am not a huge fan of crowds, and even less so of mobs.

What was brilliant about this week's G-20 summit in London was the widespread panic of ensuring you weren't mistaken for a banker. One of the great things about 4MAT is that we're an agency so can wear jeans all the time. Bankers, unfortunately, cannot. So everyone dressed down, but what kept us entertained was the way you could spot the dressed-down bankers a mile off. Chinos and loafers, Prada man-bags, starched collars on 'retro' pink shirts. Need I say more?
