Subject: RE: Songwriters in the Tradition
Yes, I now realize that what I thought was a bullet now gets read as a Euro sign. I'm still recovering from decimalisation. Will future generations know what's meant by lyrics such as this?

The village banker he was there,
And acting very strange,
He shoved a shilling up his arse,
And farted thruppence change.
