Yes, fluffy toilet seat covers are far too expensive, and so expensive to keep clean too.   ;D

Actually, it shows what our paper money is worth when the bottom drops out of the financial world.

I have a 100 million mark note from '20's Germany, which at the time wouldnt even by a loaf of bread. They said if you had a wheelbarrow full of the notes, you could keep warm by burning the notes and be fed by trading in the wheelbarow.

Time to have look at those gold bars again

Gold prices have dropped recently and now appear to be a bit volatile - possibly a bad idea to invest in it.

All the more reason to buy lots of BMD certificates - at least they are useful. ::) ::)
