Hey, I'm taking reservations at no charge! At a farthing, I'd be making a
handsome profit! 

My dad talks about the three-penny-bit from when he was stationed in England
during WWII. They called it--and I assume this was a Cockney accent--a
"thrupnebit." Or somesuch.

Kit,
probably not worth two pennies. ;-) Or one of our brit folks can answer that
much easier than I. I bet you couldn't put it down as a holding fee on a new
Leica digi. ;-)
