In a turnaround of events, a bank in Oxford Street today held up multi-millionaire businessman Sir Richard Branson.
Eyewitnesses said that all was normal until he (Sir Richard) reached the front of the queue, when suddenly the bank manager appeared with a hood on and demanded that he deposited large sums of money into the safe.
Other bank employees also became involved as they roamed up and down the queue demand that customers deposited money.
The situation was ended when someone tried to deposit £200 million Zimbabwe dollars (64p) causing the counting machine to overload and burst into flames.
