It's "Come to work as you normally dress" Friday

Being with Charles' family so much, I'm used to being surrounded by clowns

No, it's Dress-down Friday, not Dress-clown Friday

The Charity? Well, actually we've registered our bonuses as a charity.

Hello, Charles. Well, actually I'm with a lot of silly bankers, as usual.

"You'd better make that six packets of organic oatmeal biscuits and a free-range ham"

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...

But I'm standing right beside you, Rupert

The penalty for short selling was severe

It's no good, Rupert - I keep saying "Buy, buy" and they put the phone down on me

"Hello? Yes, send in the... Don't bother"

Samaritans, how may I help?

So this is a Billy Smartphone?

Is that the Magazine Monitor? Isn't it about time we had a caption competition featuring clowns?

No, Madam, that phone's only for buying - you need a Sellphone

Silly Party HQ springs into action after the latest poll numbers.

Ridiculous hair, garish clothes, heavy makeup, and the clowns weren't much better.

Send help! I'm not sure where we are but I suspect it's Debenhams.

You'd like Charles - he's a Clown Prince

Adrian's and Christine's replacements coped gamely with the Daybreak target audience.

I should gone with the Carmen Miranda costume, darling.

I should have gone with the Carmen Miranda costume, darling.

hello ...I'm looking for a copy of fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley

I'm not telling you again! Stop calling me Squidgy!

You'd better send around another Securicor van - the doors fell off the last one

We wantedd Camilla Dallerup not Camilla dial-her-up

"'Go long on coffee'? Wlell of course one can go on and on with a decent cafetiere of the Fortnum & Mason Bolivian No 1..."

They're from Chipperfield's - I distinctly ordered some hunky men from Chippendales.

Hello? Rupert? A gentleman standing next to me seems to be wearing your yellow chequed trousers.

"Short selling? No, that's Mr Gervais's territory and not mine..."

The clowns wanted Grimaldi but they got some grim oldie instead

No, I definitely ordered the taxi to take me to Piccadilly Circus ...

Well, Charles, Mr. Everett's OK, but Kenny certainly isn't as funny as he used to be ...

Well, that's the last time I phone Harrod's and order some cocoa ...

Is it buy low and sell high, or the other way round?

And these are the clowns that have kept the interest rate at 0.5%?

"Look one understands that, as you say, you've looked at the head and shoulders and think you'll take a haircut... but one is in a dealing room and not in a barbers"

Just another day at the Bourse, I'm afraid

I gather Barratts are in administration again - where are you lot going to buy your shoes from now?

Hello, I'm confirming your bid on 1000 shares of Rubber Chicken International.

Mr Baldwin's turned his phone off. Now, if you two will do the same, we can begin take-off.

Have you been mis-sold PPI? Had an accident at work? Well I know a bunch of clowns who'll be happy to represent you.

I always thought clowns just weren't funny, but you made a massive loss for your bank and they still paid you a bonus - now, that's funny!

Get me the Comic Sans hotline

"Does one have convertibles? Well, Charles has a Lexus with a fold down roof..."

"What's the spread? On the sandwiches?"

Suddenly the close protection squad realised there was a downside to Neville's suggestion of "let's all do something for Comic Relief Day"

Rupert-"You idiots,the dress code is Billy Smart not casual."

"So this 'hedge' you keep talking about. What does one do, jump one's horse over it and hope not to fall orf?"

Thank you Mr Banker, £7000 is a fantastic offer, but No Deal.

Typical! It's a bull market and I'm stuck with Rupert the Bear.

No, this is NOT Mr Murdoch...

It's marginally amusing for me and all, actually

Hello, boys - you must all go to the same dress shop as I do.

So this must be Barnum and Barclays?

"How's the footsie doing? How kind of you to ask: much better now the plaster is off..."

"No, no...it's not sour grapes about the financial crisis. The bank really IS full of clowns..."

So these bankers are supporting 200 charities worldwide? After deducting allowable expenses, that should raise over £2 for each charity.

The Mercedes limousine Charles had sent arrived, but when Camilla saw the array of body guards and drivers that came with it, she began to smell a rat….

Two chickenburgers, with fries, 2 McMuffins and a quarterpounder. Do you do Princeburgers ?

"Excuse me! We seem to have run out of white make-up..."

"Sell Wales!"

Royal futures? We're betting it's a girl.

What call center staff really look like..

"Ah! Yes! Could I vote for Amelia Lily please? Her Majesty's Voice said she was going to win."

Rory Bremner had surpassed himself for the Christmas Special

"I'll be honest Commissioner Gordon, I could do with some help here. Dobbin has not been a particularly effective replacement."

I thought call centres were staffed by Indians ... but these are all cowboys!

Hello, Charles. I've found you a new butler.

I think you misunderstood me - I did not say that Charles would love to get his hands on a clown ...

"'Short my Bonds?' Is that a bit like 'Pimp My Ride'?"

If you offer me a million for the Eurozone, I'll throw in Cornwall too.

This was not the first time that Camilla had been second choice after Joanna Lumley

How the British public view bankers

And you absolutely must give me the name of your hairdresser, Bobo

No, I wanted the Law Officers of the CROWN

So, what's your name then? Sendin? Er, Sendin the Clown?

Is that the florist's by Royal Appointment? Look, I definitely ordered a dozen red roses.

After meeting his new co-star, Rupert was persuaded to give up the role of Camilla Dagey Fritton in "St Trinian's 3: Clown School".

Hello, is that one's butler? I want you to phone up the Bank of England and buy, buy buy.

Good morning. Have YOU had an accident at work that was not your fault ...

Sorry, Rupert, but getting them to dress up as clowns was the only way we were going to get our photo in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Magazine Monitor

It's so amusing, Charles. Everyone's come as Boris Johnson.

Of course they're all clowns here - they haven't even got cordless phones yet.

Bond : "Ma'am, I've discovered that the European banking system is being run by a bunch of clowns"
M : "Tell me something I don't know, James"

"Everything's gawn a bit flat here Charles, I think we might need Pipsqueak Middleton after all"

Now we know why the chicken crossed High Street.

This year on bring-a-relative-to-work day they chose to portray market trading closer to reality. Some found it more appealing than others.

Camilla was very surprised when she was given a demonstration of phone hacking

Of course I can make decisions on my own. Barratts Shoes? Buy, buy buy!

Yes I know just the person to help you out, my Father-in-Law, he's always making a clown of himself

I know they're not very convincing, but they're better as clowns than bankers

At the third stroke it will be ...

Rupert: "Hello? Sorry? You want to do WHAT with a tampon?? Oh, hang on Charles, I'll pass you over..."

Camilla models the new line of boy toy accessories for your next fancy dress do

Help the lunatics are running the asylum

"Could you send over Beatrice's and Eugenie's hats quickly please, we need to blend in"

Duchess makes unannounced visit to FIFA headquarters.

I'm dressed as a cougar actually

- Rupert, find me an exit from this Matrix thing. It's a circus in here!
- Ma'am, we have a problem.
