The Joke Jeremy Vine and The Editor Wouldn’t Let Me Say…
Friday February 3rd, 2006

If you were listening to my monthly phone in on Radio 2’s Vine programme today, you’d have heard mention of the Money joke competition on the site (i.e. £100 for the best joke about money see here). As we were talking banking today, I asked Jeremy and Phil, the Editor, if I could tell a banking joke I’d read on the air.

“Why did the Irish call their currency the punt….. because it rhymes with bank manager”

Can’t understand why they said no ;)
