    A 1 oz gold coin buys a good hand-made suit, or decent food and drink for a month, same as it always has.

      I'd think you could stretch £600 to a bit more than a month - for one person?

        It's scary to have to contemplate doing without the Fortnum and Masons hampers.

          Bananas are 18p each at Tesco but a Lemon costs more.

          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            If life gives you lemons, buy some gin, some tonic and an icemaker.
