This virtual insanity we're living in

Or: a fool and his money are soon parted.

Golf isn’t a game that’s ever appealed to me, but I now have confirmation that golfers must be barmy. The Royal Bank of Scotland has brought out some fivers with Jack Nicklaus’ picture on them, and people are actually selling them on Ebay - and making a profit! A single note sold for just over £20, and a set of four (consecutive numbers I presume) fetched £95. They’re being advertised as ‘limited edition’ – well yes, that’s true – there will only be 2 million issued, so that can be called ‘limited’. Curiously they’re all being bought by Americans. Perhaps someone ought to tell them that if they go to the RBS website they can buy them for a fiver!
