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