Here’s what got us talking this week
We had a glimpse of the future (at least as far as house prices are concerned) and found some of us would be in a fight to the end with robots.

1) Wonder women
City A.M. revealed its first Power 100 list, recognising the most influential women in the Square Mile. From agenda-setting lawyers to world-changing entrepreneurs, it's a group that will make you think. Guest editor Jayne Anne-Gaghia made us sit up with her call to arms and we learned how to become a badass.

There was plenty to chew over in the Queen's Speech this week but not everyone was pleased with what they heard.
3) BHS brouhahah
The BHS saga continued, with MPs confirming that Retail Acquisitions boss Dominic Chappell would be hauled in for a grilling. Suitors were named, with a Select two thought to be in pole position, and by Friday sources suggested a deal would be announced early next week.
4) Tale of two cities

5) Fair salary for a fair job?
There can be a lot of opaqueness when it comes to salaries. Luckily, we've found out how much London banks are paying their staff: find out who is the most fair here.
