The Economist

Once again Harold wants to better himself while Albert is satisfied wearing tatty old clothes.

After reading books on economics. Harold persuades his dad to run the business his way for a month. Buy in bulk and advertise the goods for sale at a high margin.

He ends up buying a set of dentures for forty pounds. Albert tells him it is all Burke and Hare. Harold is just a burke. It was a rotten idea, dentures tend to be individually shaped for a mouth and you can get dentures on the NHS. He even advertises them in the Times.

As Harold idly plays golf, it turns out to be a bad investment. Those economic books never gave Harold any business acumen.

It's back to the horse and cart for Harold, Until he sees another not to be missed opportunity.

It was another good episode that shows the differences in the two men. Harold ambitious but not always in tune of the ways of the world. Albert is the reverse.
