Newsboost Zoome Flume – Buckets of Money

September 27th, 2010

If you are under the age of five, live in the South Wales area and you are in need of some financial security then you may want to pay a visit to Trailwing Infant School. A profiteering group of young children have started up their own bank using sand as currency to the rest of the playground in an attempt to try and balance the economy.

“It was touch and go for a while,” advised Head Teacher Lucious Lush, “there was no stability at all. Most of the children were coming to school with rocks or twigs rather than toys. Nobody was trading; they would all sit and stare at trees, looking for a better future. Then two kids, Yorick and Taffy, decided that enough was enough and they set up what is now the main office of ‘Doodlebugs Plc’.”

Doodblebugs has been running for six months now. On average they are exchanging up to seven tonnes of sand every day, with a competative set of rates and exclusive accounting extras. They employ up to six staff now, with nap time and milking privileges as standard.

“There’s been a complete change since Doodlebugs started. It’s so effective that I myself have my very own bank account. I’m just so glad that someone came in to help out as we were really struggling.”

The managing directors of the bank were unavailable for comment although it has been mentioned that the bank has become so successful that a second and third branch are expected by the end of year, located next to the climbing frame and over by the pond respectively.
