            I think AtW was on about Merv's recent knighthood:

            Well done Merv. It's hard work having to photocopy that letter to the exchequer every month to explain why interest rates are staying at 0.5% and how inflation is only a 'temporary blip'.

            I'd be laughing too if it wasn't for the devaluing of my warchest, which is still in sterling as I don't have a clue where to invest it that is both 100% safe (or as safe as the bank) and easy to access.
