Mr Bean to take charge of Bank of England

I have juvenile sense of humour, it’s true, but this story on the BBC tickled me:

The surprise announcement is expected to be made officially on Thursday. The Bank’s chief economist Charles Bean is expected to be named a deputy governor.

Mr Bean will take charge of the Bank’s monetary policy side, replacing the other deputy governor, Rachel Lomax.

I wonder if the author of this story purposely left the reference to Mr Bean in, to give people like me a bit of a chuckle.
