It's about 660,000 bob, I believe.
(bob == nickname for shilling == 5 pence piece) |

In almost a year, I never had occasion to own a five-pound note, though somebody once showed me one. It was white, as I recall, and as large as a lady's handkerchief. He folded it twice to put it into his billfold. Those were the days when a gaggle of Oxfords wrote a "cheque" on the flank of a cow and marched the beast into the bank for payment, which was duly made. I don't know how the cheque was voided. |

Considering the number of posts since the registration, I suspect the OP will answer somewhere in June 2020.

Anyway, the message of Lesley8000 is so meaningless and excessive (compared to reality) that it is likely a (bad!) joke.
