The money was mounting up all the time, the value was being added to their bankbooks and that of a generation after them.
Early this month every bank put into every person's bankbook a moratorium slip.
We have been told by a banker of someone dying and leaving a bankbook by the bedside.
On retirement, on account of age, they looked at their bankbook and decided to blow it all in and have a trip to this country.
I suppose in future asbestos bankbooks will be handed out for the bedside.
