PARODY OF THE WONGA.COM ADVERTS
JOYCE AND BETTY ARE THE 2 OLD DEARS FROM THE WONGA ADVERTS
GEORGE IS GEORGE OSBORN BUT IS EARL FROM THE ADVERT

JOYCE:                        Where's George?
BETTY:                        Oh, he's off looking for little pots of gold at the end of rainbows. 
JOYCE:                        Oh!!
BETTY:                        Now that we have lost our AAA status, we can't borrow any money to prop up our currency.
He's hoping if he finds a little pot of gold, he can sell it to Cash4LeprechaunGold.
If we can’t find more money, Interest rates will sky rocket!! 

JOYCE:                        Oh Betty.   We can solve all George's problems with an even higher form of interest rate.
JOYCE:                        A loan from Wonka.com
(beat)
using their online sliders. We'll just ask for 10 billion and payback 300 billion in 2.5 years time.

BETTY:                        I see, so paying it back will be the problem of the next government.
JOYCE:                        Yes, we call it the Election Day loan.
                                      No hidden charges or nasty surprises.
                                      For this government.
(..)
The next one is stuffed.

GEORGE:                   Fiddledee….
<interrupts>
BETTY:                        George, you can stop pretending to be a leprechaun
GEORGE:                   No, I was planning the budget
