Letter: Bradford & Bingley's bowler hat

Sir: You report (27 April) that the Bradford & Bingley's bowler hat was ousted because research showed that it was thought sexist. Had anybody asked me, I would have said that it always brought Cabaret to mind. Surely nobody thinks of bowler hats in any other context nowadays, and this is something which upon which the sexy new bank could surely capitalise.
