Whatever the white-room situation, I'm glad that Downsland uses the British pound - none of this new-fangled 'dollar' nonsense.

I did take some time to consider what currency to use. I even tried to invent a new one, but thought it would just complicate things. I think the currency I invented was called 'Globdules' or something. The Symbol was ♪
I think the exchange rate was along the lines of ♪1 = £40
You know what, I think I'll start using Globdules in more Downer articles

EDIT:

100 Groats (g)= ♪1

If it was Dollars or Euros then Alien would never have been able to afford a walking house with laser guns - he'd have been lucky to afford a second hand Robin Reliant

I like how the Downer is to all intents and purposes a free newspaper! It would certainly be a major improvement on Metro; how about suggesting this to our bus companies, Mr Hookbill?
