Cheating cheaty cheatsI'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

HotBlack Desiato {Home again} & The £100 banknote.The Bank of England stoped issuing all notes of above £5 denomination in 1943 to foil German counterfeiting attempts - they withdrew the £5 note, redesigned it and reissued it.
The £10 note was reissued in 1964, the £20 in 1970 and the £50 in £1981.
The £100 note was never reissued (nor were it's more impressive siblings, the £500 and £1000 note).
The Russians have a saying:
"Better a clever lie than the foolish truth"
I've searched quite extensively, but no-one seems to have a similar saying about a foolish lie...
