It came to our attention that over in Germany a bank clerk accidentally puts £190million into a pensioner’s account after falling asleep on his keyboard. Drats could it not have been my account? Sadly for the pensioner whose account received the hundreds of millions of euros the funds were quickly swept away again. The boss of the bank clerk who made the error was fired for letting the mistake slip through. A court in the state of Hesse, central Germany, heard that the clerk was supposed to transfer just €62.40 (£53) from a bank account belonging to the pensioner. In fact the pensioner received a huge €222,222,222.22 that day. The clerk had nodded off with his finger still on the 2 button of the keyboard. That is one heck of a lot of zees! The bank, which was not named in the ruling, published online, claimed the supervisor had tried to deceive her superiors by failing to properly check transfer payments.  The Hesse Labour court ruled, however, that the plaintiff should have received a warning and not a dismissal and said she should be reinstated in her job. Although it was a 'terrible mistake' there was no evidence she had sought to cause deliberate harm to her employer, and she should be reinstated, the ruling said. Nevermind the employees imagine if the poor boy saw  €222,222,222.22 in his bank account. He could have had a heart attack. Wish we had that problem in our account.
