I'm willing to bet that you could take the piss in a way that didn't lead to a misconduct charge but at the same time made them want to get rid of you. Plus, with banks moving more and more people to low cost centres I would think they would be pretty open to a 60+ person approaching them and saying I'm ready to leave for a redundancy package. It's one year' cost for many years savings.
and then pay as much as you can into your works pension to get you down to a low tax bracket, then retire and take 25% of it tax free... best saving plan known to man coming towards then end of his working life
