18/8/2014

 
Unfortunately, Equity Uncle has absconded from the locked cage in which De Minimis normally keeps him. Since his whereabouts are currently unknown (although we think he might be doing a clerkship or something), we were unable to force him to write a column or crossword puzzle this week. So, in his place, is a ‘best of Uncle Geoff’ from the July 1949 edition of De Minimis.
