Talk:Gnomes of Zürich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surely the date 1956 is wrong. 1965 is much more likely.

Dick Pyle

I don't have the reference to hand, but I did confirm the date last time someone corrected it. He coined the phrase in 1956 (when Shadow Chancellor), but it later became prominent during the 1964 sterling crisis and its aftermath, which is where 1965 comes in...

Now I look at it though, it may be garbled - it reads as though we've the 1956 date but have attributed it to the 1964/5 speech... hrm. Will look into this when I have the references handy. Shimgray 11:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Suggestion: adding Harry Potter's allusion to this.... I forget what critter runs Gringotts', it's a pretty good allusion to the Gnomes of Zurich...? D.valued 21:08, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

In the movie it was "goblins". --193.11.177.69 15:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
