Isn't that what Sybil said to Basil when he was fumbling for the lightswitch - except it was gallantry and girl.

I'm sure he meant 'Battered ieval' coin!

Christ! Were they making these back then? In that case the Royal Mint was a few hundred years too late getting its own version to market - but then institutions are always reluctant to change. I hope Seuk is going to reappraise the dates of his forgeries.

Unfortunately I have a bag of unidentified washers and another of identified washers. Thankfully the pile gets large enough to weigh in eventually.
