The way they live now

Friday, 14th November 2008

A cry of anguish from a pin-striped reader of Lucy Kellaway's agony aunt blog:

At a dinner party last Saturday I was asked by a fellow guest what I did and I said I was an investment banker. I might as well have said I was a paedophile. Suddenly the whole table – all friends of my wife from the art world – turned on me with such venom I was really taken aback.
Kellaway's advice:
To avoid further ugly scenes, next time say you work for the government. Which, depending on your bank, may be partly true.
