Only a few pensioners - as many as the Queen has ears, er . . years, get the
special coins because it'd be far too expensive if they gave em out to all
and Sundry Maundry and Tuesdry!
Oh no. Charles is the one with the ears, izzen tea. If as many pensioners
got the coins as Charlie's ears weigh in grams, that'd really bankrupt the
country. Then the bankers would all commit suicide because there'd be
nothing left for them to ruin!!
