In the Maths GCSE today, there was a question about Arwen buying cars.

The first thing I wondered was whether it was Eomer's van, and the second was what the exchange rate in Middle-Earth is.

That`s the first time that I`ve laughed all day!
But, of course, anyone on this lovely place would think the same.

It would certainly be interesting to find out! I wonder how you would, though.

Well I suppose if you took the thirty silver pennies Butterbur paid for Bill and cash compensation for the loss of Merry's ponies and compared it to the price of modern horseflesh.. you could come up with practically anything.

Don't forget the other van - presumably quite substantial -that Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and Gandalf went in with the Dunedain and the sons of Elrond.

Anyway the main reason for my post is that I saw various references and adverts for this company in magazines over the weekend.

When you spell Eleanor as Elanor. A lot.
