lol - Are you being served is an old one - I can't just think whether that's going back to the v old (not so old that my mum can't remember!) currency of pounds, shillings and pence - there were all sorts of funny old coins then like half-crowns, threepenny bits etc - very confusing!!

Now it's pounds and pence and we may go Euro eventually, but it's not looking imminent!

Vicar of Dibley is v funny - that one's not so old. Dawn French (the vicar) is a big hit over here. She does a show with Jennifer Saunders which does a fab take on popular culture - they take the mickey (?make fun of) the latest big stars/TV shows/films out and whatever's been hitting the news. They just did a Christmas special with an alternative Queen's speech (the Queen always broadcasts a message to the nation on Christmas day) and Dawn French played Catherine Zeta Jones as 'Queen of Wales', reflecting on her marriage into the US 'Royal' 'Spartacus' family!!
Ha Ha.

Laughter is the best form of medicine...

Yep we have a bunch of shows here that like rag on (mickey ) the President's speeches (not that they're ever incredibly intelligent to begin with). My mom is a big fan of Catherine Zeta Jones so I bet she would have loved to have seen that show.
Ok, so you have a threepenny bit-where are the fourpenny and twopenny bits?? LOL And since there's a half-crown, is there just a crown? You're right, this is confusing. But then again, ours may seem confusing as well lol.
