The droll humour of Bill Murray would perfectly fit the items getting lost in translation for old Lehmanites now under the banner of Nomura. The Times has revealed that:

A recent e-mail politely reminded staff in Nomura’s Tokyo headquarters that “gay colour nail polish and manucure” fell outside the company’s strict dress code.

The trading floor was also left baffled by guidelines on the correct type of trousers: “Wear the one gives to the ankle to the height of pants”.

Basically folks the summer’s over so back to some serious grind.
