In the writer's own words 'these tales are figments of imagination and youthful experience, tied very loosely together by what might have been'. Terrry Wogan worked in a bank in Ireland before moving, very successfully into radio and later television; his main character in these short tales is Tom who has returned to his home town as Manager of the local bank and during a party to celebrate the refurbished bank reminisces about it's customers and his own life.
Slight stories told with gentle humour which greatly improve after a few early duds.
