   Put it in a currently unused handbag, so that when you are, at some distant stage in the future, rummaging like mad to give cash to the charitable collector that actually found us you can come across it with joy and wonder and a feeling of benewhotsit.
   Why do my posts always look as as if I'm writing the script for the policeman in 'Allo 'Allo. I actually amended handbog, but there are others....

   ....but what is a Eurovision Sweep and does Sooty know about this, I think the public should be told.

   Put it towards your legal expenses, following a backlash from outraged members of the public as a result of the previous posting?

   ;o)

   I can't believe you actually posted that image!

   Eddie - why don't you have a word with the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Evan Davis? He could advise you about making a small deposit. Couldn't he?

   Look how popular you are now you've won some money!!

   Actually, a fiver would buy me a nice gin and tonic in a quiet country pub. Hint, hint. ;)

   Give it to Marilyn. Hopefully she has your £3.

    No, Sir, not the coffee. Why not go for a lovely blue glass bottle of Welsh Water (Ty N*nt? if memory serves me) which you can drink and then refill from the tap to serve to you dinner guests.

    This is a tip I picked up from a ?friend some time back, though I chose not to follow her lead it must be said ..... However, as a way of getting a return from your initial outlay, it does appear to have merit!

    Big Sis - " I chose not to follow her lead" - Yeah - a likely story.

    I must of course point out that the value of investments can go down as well as up - but in today's market, may I suggest gluing the 5 coins in a row along a quiet street, set up a video camera opposite to film innocent passers by trying to pick them up, then sell the film to a tv company who will show it at peak time on a Saturday evening. As your advisor, I will make a small charge for this advice - £10 should cover it.

    Bank Manager (19) that'd work for about 20 minutes, then some oik would turn up with a JCB (stolen from the nearest road works) & dig out the chunk of paving before absconding with the money. When we lived in Hyde, someone stole the paving stones from the bottom of our street. Nothing is sacred any more...

    Well, it's time for me to go out delivering my Christian Aid envelopes - would you like me to send one straight to you?

    p.s. why do I always feel so uncomfortable about asking donors to fill in the bit on the back that allows the charity to claim back the tax? I feel that they think I'm just wanting to find out how much they've put in the envelope.....

    Val - but don't you find it's always a pound? At least it averages that, per house? I did a cancer charity one a couple of years ago, & each time when it came to counting up the dosh, it was spooky how it averaged out at £1 per household!

    Christian Aid, definitely. Go on, Eddie - You know you want to.
