Economy - My Answer

It's been a while since I posted anything sensible, so I've decided to turn my not-inconsiderable-idea-generating-brain to the economy. And of course I have come up with an answer to all of our problems.

Ladies and Gentlemen may I introduce the 25p coin. It works very simply, four x 25p coins to the pound and two x 25p coins to the 50p piece. The 20p piece will of course be scrapped, and I think after you have seen my design for the new 25p coin, you'll agree with me in thinking that the 20p looks rather silly now.

The new 25p coin will solve all of the nations money worries overnight and will promote a new confidence in the pound. The design is elegantly simple. It is a five-sided coin, for the five x 5p coins it represents. Also, it will be made with a small amount of real silver to confer additional protection against werewolves. I have also added a picture of a sausage to promote Britishness.

I suggest you all e-mail the Royal Mint immediately to tell them to take up this great idea. They will of course be annoyed because they have just released new coin designs. Don't listen to them if they say it would cost a lot, because what they don't want you to know is that they print their own money (hence the expression 'minted').

Anyway, behold...
