Ian Viney, the managing director of Legal & General's general insurance arm, is a man who can look after himself. Following a late night corporate event, Viney was accosted by a couple of muggers on the London Underground. Instead of handing over his wallet, he sent the youths packing with a few swift blows. "They didn't realise I'm an Aussie," he told Backchat.
