“To good eating belongs good drinking” - German proverb Mr Jones: The Bank Manager Mr Jones is a lot of things to a lot of people; husband, father, friend, confidante, adviser – but Bank Manager is his preferred role. Keeping the balance sheet in check, having structure and order in his day-to-day work, commanding respect; these are the simple things that get Mr Jones out of bed each morning. He relishes the satisfaction of helping people, but he isn’t a pushover; ‘firm but fair’ is what they always say. As a bank manager, he has the keenest of radars too; a blaggard can be identified even before the first handshake. A tall, well-spoken, distinguished man, fiercely patriotic, with an air of authority about him. es,Y it is fair to say that Mr Jones is a stable kind of a chap, a real pillar of the community; a great British family man; an all round good-egg. That is, until you scratch the surface….. Mr Jones: The Old Rascal Mr Jones is a lot of things to a lot people. And to Miss Wright – or Flo, he is everything. Now, a stronger-willed man would’ve resisted the amorous advances of their Girl Friday, but this unfortunately, is Mr Jones’ one weakness. Driving his trusty Rover 60 to work each day, he often dreams about where he can next take Miss Wright for a surreptitious weekend away, under the guise of a business conference. Mr Jones’ “business trips” have become increasingly frequent since his union with Miss Wright. The irony is, there is only one official banking conference each year that he has to attend, and he attends alone...
