Workers in the City's Finance Sector are reported to have been responsible for the disappearance of steak from the shop floor of Finsbury Pavement's M&S., the flagship branch in the Square Mile. The manageress recently posted a notice which told shoppers that it had'removed steak from the shop floor' and directed them to ask the information desk for 'help' in purchasing steak 'owing to the large amount of theft experienced.'

Fillets filched by light-
fingered hedge-financiers. No fun
for Finsbury 's Fortnums.

The stakes are high when
hedge-funders hit the the trading
floor to lift their shares.
