« One size fits Maul | Royal hoaxers | The choke is on you »

Not many City firms have international trampoline champions in their PR team, although that demonstrates just how blue-blooded this top London outfit really is.
But that didn’t stop some of its partners playing a rather cruel trick on the firm’s gymnastic-fantastic publicity king, who was duped into believing his Olympian sporting exploits had been commemorated by his former school in the form of a cast-iron statue.
It was only when the media man was about to phone his old headmaster to deliver an emotional ‘thankyou’ that his workmates revealed the hoax. Unfortunately, the trick had been so wickedly woven that the ex-tumbler for a while refused to accept that was no totem to his achievements after all. Bless.
