Story to warm the cockles
Story to warm the cockles of one’s heart, from this week’s Popbitch:
In America dollars are known as "Benjamins",
in the hip hop world because Benjamin Disraeli’s
picture is on the $100 bill.Here in the UK Prince Charles’s two boys,
William and Harry refer to pound notes as
“Grannies” - because they have their granny’s
face on them.On birthdays, Charles asks them "Would you
like a blue granny, a brown granny or a pink
granny?" (fiver, tenner or fifty)
