A bit risky…

1 Jan 1941

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN A bit risky ... Visitor: Oh — and I say — could you take charge of this money for me? Reception Clerk: Certainly, sir! ... £100 in notes. Visitor: Yes — I always keep it by me — you never know when you'll need it these days. Reception Clerk: If I may say so, sir, isn't it a bit risky? You might easily lose the lot in the blitz. Our safe's not bomb-proof. Visitor: Yes — but if I invest it in anything I might need it in a hurry. I shouldn't be able to get it. Reception Clerk: Why not put it into War Savings, sir? Your money will be quite safe then and you can always get your money back when you need it.
