50p? Parrfers's meter is so antiquated that it hasn't been updated from shillings yet 
Every time he watches old University Challenge shows he's reminded of of it - "And here to ask the questions is Bamber Gas-Coin"

You're serious? Your heat was coin operated! That's incredible!
Do your homes also have coin operated toilets?

No, but's it's not a bad idea. I could feed guests on prunes and curry and make a fortune...

Now-a-days you'd have to add a credit card swipe! Or at least a bill acceptor to make any real money. Also you don't want someone standing in your apartment after eating that, searching for correct change.
(Maybe you should just charge for the prunes and curry)

Hello there Tabitca!
Nice to see you again. How's Nessie?
I've been pretty busy myself, so I haven't been around much in recent months either.

I guess the best way to get PF to sign off is for
me to sign on.

Actually I'm still here. I just nipped off to set up a new internet account in the hope of saving some dosh. I don't know what the service will be like from this new ISP though, they're such a fly-by-night set-up...

So the BBC have set themselves up as an ISP now? Makes sense I suppose - they've got to recoup some of the money they must be spending on new media

Well, this is technically BBC Worldwide, the 'commercial arm' of the Beeb. I think the relationship must be similar to the IRA and its 'political wing'...
