I could put a copy of the article on here if someone in authority could confirm I wouldn't be in breach of any copyright

Not totally acurate while egyptians who built pyramids were not paid egyptians never used money so it would have been impossable for them to stash their wealth away in pensions ISAS or just good old fashioned cash , they were in fact queueing to do these jobs as they recieved great housing and extra food and drink . The romans actually introduced cash to egypt and that is when the real rot/fraud and coruption started , a change in the weather in egypt never helped as well. As for the 1799 halpenny "Tits out for the lads"

Good bargain - feather in your cap, and with those kind of bargains you can build up a good nest egg. But it must have been a bit of a flap when the crows beaked in - bleedin' stone me ! Could drive you cuckoo. Would have been interesting to have had a bird's eye view though.

Lux.... the alluring world of French roses, each flower carefully picked.....seriously though, had more sushine in the month of May than my panels have ever recorded in any previous calendar month.... but now I need a holiday....... a few wet days makes you quickly forget

I just wasn't thinking- I love a bargain - it was going cheep! I got mobbed by nearly twenty crows after that pun- they are a local gang called Corvid 19.... I can only apologise.
