This was well worth watching in my opinion.

It is now available as a video of 1 hour, 18 minutes, 51 seconds, yet it is a series of shorter presentations by a variety of presenters.

There can be a problem getting the English subtitles, but I found that with a bit of clicking - I can't remember exactly what - I got them satisfactorily.

Before the bing chat ai system suggested including briar press, (when I might have been using different wording overall anyway), I was only getting results for electronic chess fonts, and was not able to find anything about typemetal chess founts.

The "Ask me anything" message was displayed.

So I asked the following.

How can I persuade food companies to produce cans of baked beans with Herbes de Provence?

The response was just lots of links aout baked beans, not answering my question.

So I started a page by seeking

bing chat ai

Got the Try now bit and got the sidebar.

Asking the same question by that route produced the following.

----

Here are some steps you could take to persuade food companies to produce cans of baked beans with Herbes de Provence:

Research: Understand the product you want to propose. This includes understanding the taste profile of Herbes de Provence and how it would enhance the flavor of baked beans.

Petition: Start a petition online explaining why you think baked beans with Herbes de Provence would be a great product. Share this petition on social media platforms to gather support.

Customer Feedback: Reach out to the companies directly through their customer feedback channels. Companies often appreciate innovative ideas from their customers.

Social Media Campaign: Start a social media campaign promoting your idea. Use relevant hashtags and tag the companies in your posts.

Market Research: Conduct a small market research study showing that there is a demand for the product. You can do this through surveys or polls.

Collaboration: Reach out to influencers or food bloggers who can help promote your idea.

Remember, it’s important to be patient and persistent. Change often takes time, but with enough support and evidence showing demand, companies may consider your proposal.

An interesting film from 1948 about how money gathered in taxation was spent then.

The film includes some footage of a shop with boxes of National Butter.

The system suggested being asked

Write me a limerick

So I tried that and here is the result

Sure, here’s a limerick for you:

There once was a cat from the city, Whose fur was incredibly pretty. She’d strut and she’d preen, Like a feline queen, In a manner that’s both cool and witty.

Fascinated by this, I tried another one.

Please write a fable about a man who wants to plant a forest of Black Walnut trees but he has no land, no money, and is old, and so he writes about the idea in the hope that somehow the forest of Black Walnut trees will be planted.

----

The Bing ai application produced the following.

----

Once upon a time, in a small village, lived an old man named Elias. He had a dream, a dream to plant a forest of Black Walnut trees. But Elias was old, he had no land, and he had no money. Yet, he had something more powerful than all of that - he had an idea and the will to make it happen.

Elias started writing about his dream. He wrote about the beauty of the Black Walnut trees, their towering heights, their wide-spreading branches, and the rich nuts they bore. He wrote about how these trees could provide food and shelter for countless creatures and how they could enrich the soil and clean the air.

His writings were filled with such passion and vivid imagery that anyone who read them could almost see the forest of Black Walnut trees right before their eyes. His words were so powerful that they moved people’s hearts.

News of Elias’s dream spread far and wide. People from all walks of life started to take notice. Some offered land, some offered money, and some offered their time and labor. Everyone wanted to be a part of Elias’s dream.

And so, the forest of Black Walnut trees was planted. It grew and flourished, just as Elias had envisioned. Even though Elias was old and had no land or money, his idea and his words were powerful enough to create a forest.

This fable teaches us that age, money, or possessions do not limit us. Our ideas and our will to make them happen are what truly matter. So let’s keep dreaming and keep writing because our words have the power to move mountains…or in Elias’s case, plant forests.

That is absolutely amazing!

I have a few minutes ago noticed that Bing ai has the following example request.

> Write an original fable about a fish and a frog finding love

So I keyed in the request so as to observe the reply.

The reply is as follows

----

Once upon a time, in a pond not too far away, there lived a fish named Finn and a frog named Freya. Finn was a handsome fish with scales that shimmered in the sunlight, and Freya was a beautiful frog with big, bright eyes. They had always been curious about each other, but they never dared to speak until one day when they met by chance.

Finn was swimming in the pond when he saw Freya sitting on a lily pad. He swam over to her and said, “Hello there! I’ve seen you around here before. My name is Finn.”

Freya looked up and smiled. “Hi, Finn. I’m Freya. I’ve seen you too. You’re quite the swimmer!”

Finn blushed. “Thank you! You’re quite the jumper yourself.”

They talked for hours about everything under the sun. They talked about their favorite foods, their favorite places to swim and jump, and their hopes and dreams for the future.

As the sun began to set, Finn said, “Freya, I know we’ve only just met, but I feel like we have a connection. Would you like to go on a date with me?”

Freya’s heart skipped a beat. “I would love to!”

And so they went on their first date. Finn swam around the pond with Freya on his back, showing her all of his favorite spots. They laughed and talked and had a wonderful time.

From that day on, Finn and Freya were inseparable. They went on many more dates and fell more in love with each other every day.

The other animals in the pond were amazed by their love story. A fish and a frog? Who would have thought?

But Finn and Freya didn’t care what anyone else thought. They knew that they were meant to be together.

And so they lived happily ever after, swimming and jumping together in their little pond.

That is really beautiful.

Oh but you do! "Ten bob note" is slang!

I seem to remember "Half a Crown" rather than "Half Crown", so perhaps "Half a Crown" is slang.

They are references to the everyday descriptions of money in the United Kingdom before decimalisation of the currency took place in 1971.

Two shillings and six pence.

Three shillings and eleven pence.

One shilling and nine pence.

But exact number of shillings would be, for example, "five shillings" with the word shillings said.

There was no "and one", it would be, if I remember correctly, for example, "two shillings and a penny".
