the heads of the big five British banks demanded - and got - another £5 billion in "emergency liquidity" from the Bank of England to add to the £5bn they received earlier in the week. But like militant shop stewards they complained it wasn't enough. "Look how much the banks are getting in Europe and America," they whinged. Hundreds of billions of dollars and euros are being thrown at banks in an attempt to save them from themselves Mr. Banks: A British bank is run with precision A British home requires nothing less! Tradition, discipline, and rules must be the tools Without them - disorder! Chaos! Moral disintegration! In short, we have a ghastly mess! Mary Poppins: I quite agree! Mr. Banks: The children must be molded, shaped and taught That life's a looming battle to be faced and fought If they must go on outings These outings ought to be Fraught with purpose, yes and practicality! These silly words like superca... Superca... superca... Mary Poppins: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mr. Banks: Yes, well done, you said it!

Mary Poppins: Tomorrow, just as you suggest pressed and dressed Jane and Michael will be at your side.
