Janet So what does the world of high finance have to do with our website?郎对花对花
Joe Well, I thought we could do something on the Bank of England Museum –it’s really quite interesting.
Janet So who exactly is Tim Pearson?
Joe He works there and he’s coming along today to plan an interview and a tour round the museum.
Jane t So we’re not actually doing any filming?
Andy No, just asking him more about the Bank and the museum.
Tim Hi.
Joe Hi , Tim.
Andy Hi, Tim.
Janet Hi, I’m Janet.
Tim Hi, Janet. Right, so where do you want to begin.
Joe I’ve got a plan of the museum. Can we go though it with you?
Tim Fine. Basically, the Bank of England Museum tells the story of the Bank of England. There’s also a collection of bank notes and gold bars.
Andy Any free samples?
Tim Sorry, no chance! Now, you come in here or the left, past the museum shop. Then the first room you enter is a reconstruction of a late 18th century banking hall. Janet And moving through to this room, on the top right hand side?
Tim That’s the story of the early years at the Bank from when it was founded in 1694.
Janet What about this room on the left?
Tim That’s the Bank’s collection of silver goods, a pile of gold bars. And this room here below contains a description of how the modern economy works.
Janet So is our paper money always backed by its value in gold?
Tim Y es, the notes they gave or received were originally receipts for the loans in gold. But gradually these paper receipts replace the gold and became bank notes. Janet So is the Bank was given its independence in 1997.
Janet And why didn’t the Bank help th e economy during the credit crunch in 2008?
Tim Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain…
Andy Take your time, Tim we’d really like to know.
Tim Well, uh…
