Some years ago I visited the battlefield of Waterloo. In the bookshop in the visitors' centre I found a book (in English) about the Napoleonic Wars. I paid for it by credit card. The price was in Euros, of course, but I was amused to discover that with the current conversion rate, when I received the credit card bill the price was £18.15.
Yesterday I went to see the new film Peterloo, set mostly four years after Waterloo. Today I did some shopping in Tesco. The bill came to £18.19!
(Incidentally, despite what they've been saying about how no-one learns about Peterloo at school, I definitely remember hearing about it in history lessons.)
