Last Man Standing

Recommended Posts

I attended a local antique fair today, in my weekly hunt for coins. I made a few purchases and made my way to my car. Standing at the bus stop, I recognised a gentleman, who had rented a table at the fair, to sell some banknotes and coins. Knowing that he stayed in the same town as me, I put down my window and offered him a lift home, which he accepted. After a half hour drive, I stopped near his house and let him out. He offered me some money for petrol, which I refused. He insisted, and after rummaging about in his pocket, placed 4 young head Victorian farthings on my dashboard !  My question is.......Am I the last man in Britain, to be paid in Victorian currency, for a job !!!

I've had my arms surgically shortened.One of my mates was nicknamed the Italian because he always went into reverse when approaching a pub.
