When I was a boy, the then British prime minister, Harold Wilson, famously warned that if inflation was not held in check, we would one day, unthinkably, be heading for a 3 shilling loaf (there were 20 shillings to the pound here then). I'm now paying £4 a loaf

What freaking bread are you buying?!
Nice knife.

I collected coins as a boy and they still evoke the same feelings in me, the sense of mystery and adventure and nostalgia. They are relics of the past, of cultures other than my own. Mexico especially has a great numismatic history and many beautiful coins with interesting stories to tell.

With an old 10 cents coin we had before the Euro. It's a tiny one. 1980 was the year this one was made, but they are still available. Unfortunately I lost it several years ago.

2 pence coin and recent Egginton's Rodgers simple all-steel construction jack, or maybe I should call it a reverse jack? Similarly to the reverse peanut pattern of S&M, for example. Because they do have an identical knife with covers in Rodgers line, even with the same blade, but the handle curved in the "anatomically correct" direction. Pretty simple little thing, very hard spring (pinch-only opening!), but for some reason I actually like it, and I like it more then both aforementioned fancier version and a Barlow.
