Best way to take money to Coventry.

I'm sending Mrs Bob the saver to Coventry, what is the best way for her to take money please? She doesn't want to rely on just her bank debit card in case it gets lost, stolen or carried off by a low flying penguin. She's heard about a pre-paid card from Bonga pray day loans, is this the best option?

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't be ar*ed to check.

    The best way to take money to Coventry is in your sock, especially if you plan to arrive at Pool Meadow bus station after dark.

    It's well worth offering Euros when shopping in Poundland, just to hear swearing with a West Midlands accent.

    a Midlands accent.


    I often wonder what Aristotle would have sounded like with a Midlands accent.

    "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

    I think it's the Ryanair corporate slogan.

    disagree...is Mrs Bob. Brassiere is the only reasonable answer.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
  • Coventry? Don't worry about money. Just take some beads.

    For some reason my brain converted this into a Brummie accent, which is even more hilarious! :rotfl:

    Do you really want to send her with money? She might be able to buy a ticket to get back.

    Say this in a Brummie accent...
