Before I came to England, I   61    (read)about English customs. I knew that the money they used  62   

(call) pounds and pence. It was quite a shock when I bought a newspaper at the airport, and the woman behind the counter said, “That’ll be 2 quid, love”. I made a quick calculation and decided   63   (hand )over two ￡1 coins. Imagine my   64   (relieve) when she said “Ta, love”. I didn’t know what that meant either, but at least she was smiling, so I must have got the money right.

       I soon learned that a “quid” is a pound. There are several  65   (explain) for this, but the one I like  66   (well) is that “quid” comes from “Quidhamptom Mill”,   67   used to produce the special paper that pound notes were printed on.

       Just when I thought I had got used   68   English money, I saw the following advertisement in a local newspaper : “Wanted: Sales Clerk, London Area, ￡25k”. I was totally   69   (confuse). I knew from my computer course that “k” meant “kilobyte”. A few days   70   a friend explained the mystery. The advertisement was not for a 25-kilobyte clerk, but for a clerk who would earn ￡25,000 a year.
