That Mississippi is one big river. As an ex-banker, no longer with vaulting ambitions, I like the vault door in the shop. Back in the 80s, we were expanding a branch of our bank which had been set up originally in a small suburban shop. However, the area mushroomed, and the premises were too small to cope, so, at vast expense, a new larger branch was built which had a huge and expensive vault. Time passed as it always does, priorities changed as they always do, and following a rationalisation, the bank branch was sold to a former classmate of mine who is a chemist (pharmacist in USian). After looking at the costs of demolishing the vault, he still has an enormous safe in his shop.
