    If your going to have a monetary system then someone needs to create the money, be it a bloke turning gold into coins or a system of fractional reserve banking.

    Not sure if I'd agree Generali.

    Fat Bob, Big Tony, Little Al, Smiffy, Geordie, Big Dave, Little Dave, Harry 'Mad B*stard' McGraugh, Bobby 'four fingers' Slapdash and myself rented a lock up in Hackney last year and went about our own 'money creation system'.

    We had Terry Nutkins on the old lady godiva, Stephen Fry on the tenner, Karl Howman (from 80s laughfest Brush Strokes) on the ayrton senna and Venessa Feltz on the nifty fifty.

    Our notes weren't accepted by the public at large, and I have to say that the police and government were also not impressed by our efforts. So in this case, you're wrong. Guv'nor.

    i'm not surprised - had you correctly instructed Howman to work on the "Dudley Moore", then you would have had more success. i can only presume that you were scuppered by having two different £10 in circulation and no £20. a schoolboy "jaffa cake" if ever i did see one.

    Sorry Mr Chew, but I didn't understand a single word of that. The standard of English on this forum is awful, if I say so myself. Guv'nor.
