Swiss bank implements major austerity measures

Walking through the City yesterday, I stumbled across a real jamboree of people just by Liverpool Street.

UBS1

Really weird.  Lots of stalls selling food and loads of people queuing for what seemed like hours to get some of it.

UBS2

What's going on?  This is not normal.

Ahhhh ... it's just UBS deciding that their canteen cost too much, so their staff have been lucky enough to find some entrepeneurial enterprises to pitch up some tents outside and sell them lunch.

UBS3 

Must admit, I do like the thinking of these Swiss banks, although their staff may not take so kindly to queuing up outside when the autumn showers and winter snows hit.
