One of the papers today had a headline £1800. I didn't buy it (just saw
it in the distance at the supermarket).


I think I can beat that. I was looking at a widgeon through some
binoculars and a train passed at high speed and I saw a passenger
reading the Evening Standard and I read the headline quickly. I
thought it said 18 million pounds, but clearly my bins must've been
shaking.
