Purveyor of fine nonsense
I've just been watching the lunchtime news, there was an article about the new £50 note. They were filming inside the Royal Mint, the notes are shipped in metal crates full of packets of notes. Each packet contains £250,000 and each create contains £10,000,000.
So then I had a brainwave! If I get up to London quick enough, I reckon I can blag myself a fortune!
Here's the schpiel: "'ere, matey!" (said to the govenor of the Bank of England) "Them bundles of fifties ain't so big, I gots mesel' a rucksack with assorted sh*t in it, d'ya reckon I could just tan a couple or three off ya, I tell you wot, I has got prolly a five pound note in my pocket, wot is prolly worth to me wot one of them crates is worth to you ... lemme see ... hactually it's only four pound fifty, but tell you wot, if you give us a few notes and give us ten mins, I'll nip into town and get a can of tennants super and a big mac and you can have the fifty out of wot you give me, see? I'm generous like that. What d'ya reckon guv?"
Minted. I tell you.
But will it work?
