whack a banker game

[Amby 490]

Recession-hit Britons are getting their own back on banks in one of the country's newest amusement arcade games.

Inventor Tim Hunkin says the Whack A Banker machine at his pier arcade in Southwold, Suffolk, is proving a great investment.

Punters are promised a "truly rewarding banking experience" and use a mallet to hit as many pop-up figures as they can in a limited time.

"You pay 40p to hit as many bankers as you can in 30 seconds as their heads pop up. It's based on an older game called Whack a Mole," said Mr Hunkin, 58.

"It's proving very popular. I keep having to replace worn-out mallets."

He added: "The bankers are bald and all look the same because that's how I think people see bankers - as faceless.

"And, of course, the bankers never really lose. If you win the game a banker's voice says: 'You win. We retire. Thank you very much to the taxpayer for paying our pensions'."

Perhaps Americans need our own version, but lets include and highlight the politicians whose rules feed into the whole mess.
