?20 in 15 years is only about ?1.33 per year.

I have some rooms that need cleaning.

That's twenty BUCKS, Mincey - And at today's exchange rates, that's only ?10.06. That's about half a Dundee United match...which is usually all you need to see. Congratulations, Roger - enjoy!

I am very proud of you Roger. Wow! Third place! Well done.

On a similar note - I bought a box of cereal and won a three-month subscription to Elle magazine.

Was it a competition, Diane, or just a very up-market cereal?

Twenty US dollars is only worth about ?10! Even my pension is more than that.

I just got another box TTIII, this one was Vanilla Yogurt Oatmeal Crip - I think I paid about $4.50 for it and I got three months of Canadian Gardening (they have a cover price of around $5 an issue. If you buy children's cereal (in the sepecially marked boxes) you can get free kids' books too - we got my daugher three books ordered as well. You don't even have to pay the postage. Ah, it's great living in the New World.  ;D

I shall probably be getting a lot of junk mail - but it was worth it.

Calculation acceptable. Currency not. Maybe you have some specs that need cleaning.
