[00:39.02]a bank robber in 1969 in Portland, Oregon
[00:45.97]wrote all his instructions on a piece of paper rather than shout.
[00:53.46]"This is a hold-up and I've got a gun,"
[00:58.82]he wrote and then held the paper up for the cashier to read.
[01:05.74]The puzzled band official waited while he wrote out
[01:11.68]"Put all the money in a paper bag."
[01:17.29]This message was pushed through the grill
[01:22.40]The cashier read it and then wrote on the bottom
[01:27.91]"I don't have a paper bag," and passed it back.

[02:55.18]and so went in search of the refrigerato
[03:00.61]There he found his favorite cheese which it would have been a shame not to try.
[03:08.75]He then found some Bath Oliver biscuits and three bottles of champagne.
[03:15.98]After a while he began to feel sleepy

[04:23.45]The Worst Bank Robbers
[04:27.84]In August 1975
[04:32.56]three men were on their way to rob the Royal Bank of Scotland at Rothesay,
[04:40.33]when they got stuck in the revolving doors
[04:46.31]They had to be helped free by the staff and
[04:52.03]after thanking everyone, sheepishly left the building
[04:58.51]A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the bank
[05:06.58]but none of the staff believed them
[05:11.11]When, at first, they demanded  5,000
[05:16.94]the head cashier laughed at them, convinced that it was a practical joke.
[05:24.00]Considerably disheartened by this
[05:28.79]the gang leader reduced his demandfirst to 500 then to 50 and ultimately to50 pens
[05:42.29]By this stage the cashier could barely control herself for laughter.
[05:49.42]Then one of the men jumped over the counter and fell awkwardly on the floor
[05:57.59]clutching at his ankle
[06:01.30]The other two made their getaway
[06:06.01]but got trapped in the revolving doors for a second time
[06:13.14]desperately pushing the wrong way.
[06:18.07]1)  How many robbers were involved in the robbery?
[06:24.91]2)  What happened to them when they tried to get into the bank?
[06:31.57]3)  Who helped them solve the problem?
[06:37.76]4)  Why did they come back in a few minutes?
[06:43.63]5)  How much did they demand at first?
[06:49.64]6)  What did the staff think of the robbery?
[06:56.02]7)  How much did they demand in the end?
[07:01.78]8)  Why did one of the men fall on the floor?
