Richard Branson: "Should banking disappear from our high streets?"

I don't believe Sir Richard really wants to do anything revolutionary about the banking industry itself, just make the experience less antiseptic and more personable for the customer who will perceive that as a substantial change worthy of Virgin patronage.

Richard Branson is mad for not jumping off his own balloon.

Twenty years ago, he would have.  Now he's a little long in the tooth.  (You do realize the balloon jump was sponsored by Red Bull).
