Daddy, at school today we were talking about medicines and treatments that were really important for the whole world.
Were you alive when pencil in was discovered ?
You mean penicillin son, no that was many years ago.
Were you alive when singaron was discovered?
I think you mean synairgen and yes I was around when that became available around the world.
Teacher said people made lots of money , did you Daddy?
Yes son I put money into the company and got lots more back.
Is that why we live in a nice house and Mummy gives lots of money to poor people and sick animals?
Yes son, we were very lucky we chose that company to put our money into.
Will I get some money as well?
Yes son we put some in your ISA.
Does that mean it will be frozen?
No not icer but ISA, a special account for children like you.
Teacher said that Mr. Short got burnt. Was there a fire at the factotry?
No son it just refers to someone who thinks that the company will not succeed and does silly things with his money. I will explain it all to you when you are a little older.
Daddy, is singaron, sorry synairgen still going?
No son it was bought out by big pharma.
Like Tom the big farmer down the lane?
No son.
Pharma is short for Pharmaceutical which are companies that make lots of drugs and medicines.
Thankyou Daddy and thankyou synairgen.
