The power of the pound or How I bought the BBCMay Day Thoughts.I installed a money tree out side the BBC in Southampton.




The power of the pound or How I bought the BBCMay Day Thoughts.I installed a money tree out side the BBC .A musician friend and myself worked on planting pennies outside their building(Street theatre)The receptionist asked me if I had permission(I did not realise you needed permission to plant money)

Anyway I photographed the cctv cameras and the building.Panic seemed to set in and the manager of the building and the head of production came outside perhaps to intimate us.When I asked them did they mind if I taped them.They seemed some what short for words.When I suggested that send some one from news out.They duly obliged and sent out a news manager.Its highly unlikely this play of monoply money reached the public.But it certainly proves that money talks,
