A few years ago, a colleague of mine who had been pissing me off for months joined me and most of the senior staff at my bank at our annual off-site at a town in Germany. This character thought he was my mate so I was hanging around in his room just before the final dinner helping him empty the mini-bar. During this pre-dinner session he went to the bog to take a piss and I immediately got the TV's remote control and ordered the hardest core porn film our German brothers had to offer - something involving Seymour Butts I think. Anyway, I switched the TV off before he came back and we went to dinner. The next day we were checking out with the rest of the execs and I made sure I was standing next to him when he got his bill. Looking over his shoulder, I saw the €14 'miscellaneous' charge on his bill and promptly brought it to all our colleagues' attention (including some proper big cheeses). The poor guy went bright red and started stuttering about how they'd been a mistake! - but the receptionist kept on insisting that he owed the money and even started explaining what the film was! I don't think he ever lived that one down and moved bank about six months later!

Cityboy says: 'I think it's a case of ten hail Mary's for this character - pretending to be his colleague's mate whilst stabbing him in the back may be OK in some circles but I take a pretty dim view of it!'

The moral of this story is that the writer was in the colleague's room pretending to be his friend. In the City, amongst this type of person, there are no friends. You can't trust anyone.
