Are ordinary bank workers taking a hit for their bosses' blunders?

Graham Stewart takes your calls on bank employee bonuses. Plus: Is it appropriate that Jade Goody lives her last few weeks in the media spotlight?

There's been a lot of criticism recently about bankers' bonuses, but they're not all billionaires swanning around on private jets and living the high life. Two-thirds of Lloyds employees, for example, receive an average bonus of just 拢1,000 on a pay of around 拢17,000 a year. Do you begrudge them that?

We know thousands of people in Scotland are employed in financial services, so we want to hear from you if you've just been told you're not getting a bonus this year. What will it mean to your household finances? And do you feel you're taking a kicking for other people's mistakes?

Plus: Is it appropriate that Jade Goody lives her last few weeks in the media spotlight?

Battling cancer and with just months to live, the reality TV star will marry her boyfriend Jack Tweed on Sunday. She's set to sign a magazine deal for the event as well as a likely deal with Living TV - the network which is continuing to feature her in a reality TV series. Goody has said she want to make as much money as she can for her children before dying. Are you uncomfortable with this? Or should we be praising Jade for bravely highlighting the realities of a disease that affects so many families?

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
