    A simple way is to open the photo in something like Paint, select the text tool, select your font/size and away you go. Save as a different filename.
    Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!

    If you go on "view" it should have an option for text toolbar, click on this so there is a tick next to it and this will bring up a toolbar with size/font/etc options
