FSA. I'm saying it with flowers

[EXC]

At 11 am tomorrow morning an Interflora truck will roll up outside the
plush and well lit Canary Wharf offices of the Financial Services Authority.

It will be delivering a substantial floral arrangement to Managing Director of Retail Markets Clive Briault, the man responsible for granting the waiver.

This lavish floral tribute, I'm assured, ''is guaranteed to turn heads'' and is
reassuringly expensive.

The attatched envelope contains a card embosed in gold leaf containing
the following message:


Mr Briault

With sympathy.

We are very sorry to hear of the sad loss of your moral conscience.

We have been all too aware that it hasn’t been in good health for some time.

And then, tragically, it slipped away on 27 July, silently, with just a final
unsteady waive.

From bank charge victims.
All of them.
Every single one of them.

Re: FSA. I'm saying it with flowers

Earlier I called the florist's that are responsible for the delivery to confirm that
they had the order. It will definatley go out today although they couldn't confirm the 11am delivery as they need to arrange for an extra member of staff as, because of the size of it, ''it takes two people to carry''.

I went through the text of the message with the girl to check the punctuation and spelling. She was predictably a little bemused about it but I'm confident she got it right.

I'm rather hoping Mr Briault is out of the office when it arrives so his no doubt highly efficient secretary will have the thing perfectly placed in his office and the envelope on his desk.

I'll let you know later when they arrived.

Any chance of the bemused girl at the florists hiding a hidden camera inside the flowers......so we can see the look on his face!!!
