Post #179 , plenty of reference to his business and character. You just did not follow up and ask the pertinent questions. No one did. For instance what was the 'life changing event' or what kind of 'finance' business. Earlier I said he had only one relative, a nephew, who 'he had no time for'. These were all major clues.
I have watched every movie version of Scrooge at least once. Always at Christmas.
Yes, but was no reference to the book set in the 19 cent. That would've limited the choice of characters. Incidentally, I wonder if someone was aware that wh-questions were allowed? I thought we could only ask decision questions.
I dont know to be honest. Perhaps you alluded to the reason, my early years at a draconian boarding school same as Dickens and his character Scrooge. I believe the reason A Christmas Carol has been so popular for more than a century is that it is a powerful narrative of redemption.Richie , you may want to tell us why you picked that character, why he and the novel obviously fascinate you? I'd find that interesting.
Yes, 20th cent. Not rich but no financial problems. Not a businessman but a scientist.
Stephen Hawking is first that comes to mind. Too easy tho.
No, it was maths and IT.
No, sorry. Nor Hawking.
Has Terry or Jessica had a turn.
Well done and way too easy, I think. Good guesses,
