Ah, the beloved pound note was replaced by something that wears a hole in your pocket :-)

What you need in the states is different colour notes of different sizes. I pity the poor blind person over there, as it is, even sighted people must often make mistakes as all the different denominations look and feel essentially the same.

Ah, of course, I thought Dr Jeykle and Mr Hyde when I read the lyrics, but couldn't remember who wrote it. :fp:

Two British sportsmen were born on this day. A jockey in 1942 and a boxer in 1961. Name both.
