750 UK staff of what used to be Lehman Brothers Holdings are going to get 800 pounds as severance, and that’s about it.  Oh, sure, they’re told they might get their bonuses, but they will have to get in line with Lehman’s other creditors (hint: it means they’ll be lucky to get a tin of Spotted Dick) if they want to claim them.  They’re only getting that 800 quid because the law commands it, else they would be reduced to doing immoral things to older gentlemen in alleyways for spare change, like the rest of us.  Blimey, and other assorted British colloquialisms!
