A quanto equivale un pounds? ovviamente in lire italiane
Grazie

2.5 cm = 1 inch
5.0 cm = 2 inches (<-- plurale)
1  pound
2+ pounds
In inghilterra pounds sono equivali a lire italiane, ma in america
pounds sono equivali a chilogrammi.

 Sterling is the name of the British currency. It has no value.
Dear Ian,
I fear you might be in danger of confusing some of our readers.
That the Sterling, being the name of the British currency, has no value,
might lead some to believe the British are the very poorest of European
relatives indeed,
which could also explain their reluctance to join the European monetary
union.
The Pound Sterling does indeed have a value as you point out elsewhere.

Currently, 1 Pound Sterling = LIt3105
Which is a heck of a lot of money, I reckon.

Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching

<You are tellling me !
   I bought the Adrian Mole books I didn't have from Amazon (I followed your
advice ) and am now broke.
  But it was worth it !
They were so good,I read an average of 150 pages a day.
Needless to say I was on sick leave.
Yours
Sal


That reminds me, Sal, I never let you know that the book you lent me (Samuel
Butler's "The Way of all Flesh") arrived safely. (I'm afraid I'm hopelessly
behind with my personal correspondence. I expect I'll get around to sending some
Christmas cards out by Easter.)
Thanks a lot! You and whoever else it was that recommended it were right, it's
not at all bad, and I was just prejudiced.
Are you fully recovered and happily (?) back at work now?

Dear Salvatore,
Can one now assume you have made a full recovery and are back at work?
It is to be hoped.
Happy reading.

<To whoever it may concern :
   I am almost fully recovered and happily (what a joke !) back to work now.
   I can't BEAR it.
   I, who  enjoy HORSEing around so much.
   I, who enjoy LARKing around so much.
   But one has to put some money in his PIGgy bank, hasn't one ?
   So back to the pack of hungry WOLVES and WOLVERINES !
   One of them when confronted this morning with the sentence "I like the
house Walt wants to buy
   asked me what Walt meant.
   When a poker faced Sal informed him that it was a first name he was
dealing with, his faced beamed
   with the realization he had solved the first half of an agonizing puzzle
of his : the meaning of the obscure
utterance Walt Disney.
I left him struggling with the significance of the runic inscription Disney
but he is going to get there , isn't he ?
Psychologically Knackered
Sal

Psychologically Knackered
You betcha
Hugging you close while ROTFLMAO (hang on there!)

Take heart, most noble teacher of 'wolves and wolverines'....he will indeed
get there.
