I think he means that with members so often offering two cents that if they could be saved up he would soon have enough for a holiday.

yes Nick?

Thanks Paul, that seems right ... reminds me of the story of the Bank IT programmer who had the bank's programs send rounding differences to his personal account - came to a LOT of money. Or the ancient story of the Chinese peasant who asked for two things in return for his valuable service to the emperor: (1) on the first day, one grain of rice and (2) on each day thereafter, double the number of rice grains of the day before - relatively quickly bankrupting the emperor...

I wasn't there.. but will try to make the next one. Thing is both my cars are mingers and it will drive me mad seeing all your nice motors. Have you seen Pauls? He is always out and about. It is beautiful and always depresses me when I see him. Cant afford it Kemal. There are a lot of good cars around at the moment and in Clerkenwell EC1 there are at least four, Pauls included. Are any of you here?
