It beggars belief

The streets of London, they say, are paved with gold.
Try telling that to a beggar who receives his pay in his cap.....or to a banker at Goldman Sachs whose pay has also been 'capped'.
At a poultry £1 million a year.
How will they both get by?

PS. Yes, I meant 'poultry'. After all, £1 million is chicken feed to a banker.
