The feature has run on the Letters Page of The Times of London England since the 1960s. The bank began it in 1984 (see their website) so their chief economist must have borrowed the idea. Impregnable (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article says "the gold rings of the song actually refer to ring-necked pheasants" whereas the Wikipedia entry for the carol "says the 1780 publication includes an illustration that clearly depicts the "five gold rings" as being jewelry", i.e. the rings have been considered jewelry since the earliest known record. There is no evidence that the rings refer to another pheasant. Assuming this is correct, the best that could be said is that the "gold rings of the song MAY actually refer to ring-necked pheasants". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.60.66.224 (talk) 10:42, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
