Just after lunch, I had to go and get some nails from the hardware store. When I came out, my partner was listening to radio 2. She had heard the important news that both France and Germany where pulling out of the "Euro" and where both intending to adopt the £ sterling as their national currency.
They had even had some French and German "spokesmen" explaining how they intended to "lobby" the British government so that they didn't have to have a picture of the Queen on their version of "our" currency.
She related this in all seriousness, but looked "crestfallen" when I just asked her what the date was!
