Invested in the bank
As its Easter, Mary Poppins is on. I remember this scene. Michael Banks, has been taken by his father to the Bank. He has been given tuppence. Which is about the price of two pints of beer, or two loaves. However Young Master Banks, insists on feeding the birds . Remembering the price of beer, and bread. Feeding the birds for tuppence a bag, is actually quite extravagant.
For those of you that remember Life on Mars. Which is set in the 1970s. 27p, is a sum worth taking
I always felt sorry for Michael Banks, father. Banks senior is actually, being a decent dad. He takes his son, to his work. Mr Bank tries to introduce, him to idea of prudence. But no the kid wants to feed the birds! Rather than be part of fleets of ocean greyhounds, and damns across the Nile. Quite frankly he deserves a clip
When I was six, I thought the kid, deserved a slap. I remember being fired by the idea, of Steam Ships in Africa. Its actually a good description of the Victorian Boom, slipped into a Children's program.
Anyway, a happy Easter to all my readers. Be they below the Andes, in the Deserts of Arizona, or the fertile fields of Iowa. Bonnie Scotland, or Canada.
Happy Easter!
