Scope and content

Margaret Thatcher is standing in front of 'THE LAWSON BEQUEST' which has a sign hanging on it saying 'SEE THE REMAINS OF THE ECONOMIC MIRACLE'. There is another person sitting in an admissions booth which says 'TODAY'S RATES ... IF YOU'RE GOOD...' and 'PAY THE PRICE HERE'. There are two people walking past the building and signs next to the admissions booth which say 'JOURNEY THROUGH TIME TO THE WONDROUS AGE OF LOW INFLATION!' and 'FEEL FOR YOURSELF THE INSTRUMENTS OF FINANCIAL TORTURE!' The people passing are walking towards 'The ERM ARMS' and one of them is saying 'To Hell with those prices - let's see what the present has to offer!'
