Herald Diary: Times past, and present
Sofa so good THE Herald recently reported that £50 billion of UK currency is missing, which the Bank of England has been unable to trace. John Murphy from Cumbernauld has given the matter some serious thought: “Has the Bank of England tried rummaging down the back of their sofa?” he enquires. “I’m always finding interesting stuff down the back of mine. Last week alone I discovered a rusty fork, a five pence piece and a Christmas Radio Times from 1977. The Radio Times was particularly valuable as it lists the exact same programmes and films that are being broadcast this year.”
