What is (Fancy L) L 6.00 in American dollars anyways. isn't it like double.

Hi teaKEY! Just about on the button there! The 'Fancy L' is in fact a pound sign (£) the same as your dollar sign but worth a little more in today's economic climate I'm afraid. I think the exchange rate is around 1.9 dollars to the pound so your math was about right. Go to the head of the class!

I made a monumental howler a few years back when I tried to get a 2nd edition set of the 5 SHAG mugs! I actually got through on the phone from Good Ol' Blighty to Tiki Farm Ca., a feat in itself, and was asked to press the 'pound key'. Doh! How was I to know what that was? I couldn't see anything like an 'English pound sign' on the keypad? Frantic pressing and ultimately 'bashing' of keys got me nowhere. If only I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have made such a 'hash' of it! Go to the back of the class!! Oh, the cruel irony of it all, but Hey!...Viva la difference!!! Much more fun for one and all. Besides, it wasn't my first tiki disappointment, nor will it be my last I'm sure.

Hope you enjoy the mag when you get it! We're quietly confident you will. Make sure you enter the competition on the flyer enclosed!
