Sir Fred Goodwin's iPod

Being a retired banker on a pension of £703,000 a year leaves time for musical interests. Sir Fred Goodwin, as he sips margaritas on the veranda of some sun-drenched villa, and surveys the wreckage of the banking crisis he helped create, is plugged in more and more to his gold-plated iPod, tapping along to:
