Eggs and Chips

Sir: Following along on Christopher Fil- des's line of thought on students throwing eggs at bankers (City and Suburban, 8 October) would he feel that the banker was not irretrievably middle-aged if he caught the students' egg and hurled it on at Michael Howard MP, of Financial Services Act infamy. I presume he would concede at least that the banker's 'headquarters division' was still in working order.
