"Credit Crunch Christmas"

The City Boyz, named as Ciarran “The Brawler”, Dave, Jeremy and Marcus, declined to reveal their employers’ names but are City bankers and stock brokers.

City Boyz spokesman Dave said: “We were down O’Neills, p****d as usual and p****d off that we were getting the blame for the crunch all the bloody time.

“Then we all thought you know what, we don’t really give a s**t. We’ve all done OK, sod ’em. One of the guys came up with this chorus. We had the whole pub joining in so we knew were on to something!”
