Only to point out that I knew someone who lived in Slough who didn't struggle to spell their own name.

You're just visiting some of them twice as much as the others.
I have no grandparents

Despite the fact they are quite clearly brilliant, although crap for being anonymous due to the rarity.

like in Black Books.
The smell of those is DIVINE. Old books smell better than new books. My copy of LOTR, for example. Ohhhhhh it smells wonderful.

Find the Kings Building (the University of Edinburgh Science campus) and go to the Jospeh Black building (Chemistry). On teh second floor there is a small chemistry library full of books dating back to god only knows when. It has a smell which only a few very sexy things surpas. They've either had a small fire in there or you used to be able to smoke or something - the leather, the old books, the faint sweet smell of pipe smoke...

That sounds wonderful. I bought my best mate (the one in the post below) a copy of a book that was 100 years old on her birthday and is about a girl who spells her name in the same way that she does (odd spelling of fairly not odd name) - it smells like heaven. Pure unadulterated heaven.

When did they go out of circulation?
I'd like a halfpenny as well, because they went out of being legal tender in the year I was born. I must shop for these things.
Don't you give me your spares, you might need them! Oh you lovely kitty though.

Had one recently in Oxford, it was LOVELY. Just me and my best mate being girls and trolling around, absolutely wonderful.
To be fair, spending time with her makes my heart swell anyway as I love her so much, but it just was brilliant fun.
