Since merging the family’s Building & Loan Company with RBS, George Bailey has had a year of financial mismanagement. Short on cash he has had to auction the petals- as Zuzu remarked: ‘Every time a bell rings, it’s someone phoning about PPI’.
Many other fictional characters have been re-gifting, with eBay listings for seven ‘damaged horcruxes’ (one ‘careful owner’) and a blood stained ‘Hand of the King’ pin (several less careful owners). Yet when an angel offered George the chance to relive the year, Mr Bailey opted out, saying that he could not face another ‘shitty 2016’.
