You know how it is - sometimes you can't wait for time to pass, and at other times you're running late and would pay good money to wind the clock back half an hour...

An example - I'm a bit tired at the moment and could go to bed - but it's only 8.30pm and if I do so I'll wake up at 4am. What I really need to do is wind the clock forwards 3 hours and keep those 3 hours in a time bank. Ths is like a current account only with time stored instead of money. Then, when I'm stuck in a traffic jam and need to retrieve an hour, I can do so.

So, my plan is to set up a time bank and allow other people to open accounts. Naturally there's a fee - I charge 5% of all other people's time stored. With this extra time, I should be able to live forever.

What do you think? Any snags?

What do you charge for overdraughts?

The only major problem is that you'll live to see all your friends die, won;t get a pension because the govt will have spent everything, and you'll be able to see what this generation of work shy chavs do to our economy...

Nope, never read Pratchett. This is entirely de novo.
