The line breaks thing was my own fault.

I would like to see one of the bronze pennies. I like coins (though I don't collect them), and feature a penny designed by the Canadian painter Alex Coleville on an online photo project http://www.designartcraft.com/photo/penny-1.htm (come to think of it the project was even named after his penny). I think my two favourite coins of all time were the ha'penny and the tuppence encountered on my first visit to Scotland in ~1973, which were, of course, soon to be decimated.

I hope your tall banker performs some somersaults in costume, and the performance is documented on video.

I do not want to see Morris Dancers.

Edit: two many two's.

They were reduced by 1/10th?

It refers to the old Roman empire practice of killing one in ten of a resisting populace. These fine coins were thusly knifed before their time. The tyrant subjected them to a premature and unjust demise. Their comely shapes were struck down by an evil and inexorable system of maths, leading precipitously to the present day brexit, the reclaiming of English heritage from Johnny Foreigner (I could go on like this for hours, say when).

When the coins are minted, I'll upload some pix.

Bury'd Treasure went very well - so well they've asked us to do it again this year.  But they're out of the (sports lottery) funding they had last year, so we're having to put it together for buttons.

While you're at it, can you please look for this. It is more valuable (sorry, Manthorp).

Cops reckon it's been melted down.

I saw that story last week and thought it's the ideal theft. So much easier to get rid of gold even on the proper market, than say a stolen painting which definitely needs to be sold on the black market to a limited number of interested people.

Brilliant - the wedding is this Saturday, but I believe we have a rare free weekend after that, so will get it pencilled in (can't commit as yet, my brother in law is up from Brighton during the week, and we may be doing something with him, I'll suggest a treasure hunt though...!)
