And annuder ting, yoo only sell de gohld wen de gohld price is high and nod low. Really peepel, dis ees Janet an' John eco-nomics, nod rokket science".
“Ah ahlreddy know wut ees de forst ting ah must takkel wen ah goes t’ Inger-lund t’ sorht out ahl de finan-cial probber-lems; image. Image ees very import-tant in de govern-ment. De rascal Blair know wut it meen, but ah tink auld Brohn perraps need som guidance. Yoo see, a contree’s Finance Meenister ees a very import-tant memba uf de govern-ment. Hee hev t’ meet wid udder import-tant peepel frum udder contrees an’ eet ees verry import-tant dat he ees taken seri-owsly. Mekin’ a joke nahme like “Darling” ess funny wen yoo twelve year auld, but nod wen yoo a Finance Meenister. Wen ah furst hear he call heemself “Darling”, ah thowt mebbee he ees doin’ unspeakable tings together wid dat filthy degener-rate, Mandel-sohn. Ahm afred der ees no room in a govern-ment for a man who do nod respec’ hees own po-sition, to de ex-tend dat he mek a joke name fur heemself an’ think it funny t’ cum t’ wark in de mornin’ med up t’ luk like a badger.”
“Ah weel hev sum more advice fer Meester Brohn wen ah see heem on mah ah-rival in Inger-land. Buht dat ken wate for de next tahm ah tahlk t’ yoo gud fohlks here on meester Tohd’s blog.”
