Why even bother ?

Tris has a point. All the little amounts add up.

What was that film where the guy filters off all the half cents off pay checks ? Superman III (Richard Pryor) ?

aye true but its was 5p come on that a bit stupid to send some out for it.
i collect money in each week on my milk round and if poeple are a few pence off tell them to forget it or they make it up next tiem.
