Re: £50's
I hadn't considered that. My butler always hands me my wallet of freshly ironed £50s as he opens the door for me on my way out in the morning.

Re: Dunce Cap tip
It annoys me that they ask for characters from my secret thingy, but it's the first, last and second last. The field is limited to 10 characters, so my usual three-word phrase trick often exceeds that.
Battery Horse Staple.
What's the final character?
E
Not what I have here.
Oh, hang on, 10 characters, right? R
Correct.
Now if they has asked for character 10 in the first place...
Mind you, making a deliberate mistake and being told it's wrong has some reassurance value... I always enter my PIN wrong the first time at an unfamiliar cashpoint. Just in case you know.

Re: Or Casualty
We usually have a bet on that - will the "ordinary Joe" (usually someone with a chainsaw / table saw / other power tool / 1cwt box of fireworks / getting into a motor vehicle) be (1) a victim or (2) a cause. Occasionally someone goes for (3) a new member of staff, but that's cheating because they often announce new cast members in TV Tripe or some other rag.

Re: What was their profit, though?
I think the general reader in the UK would understand the term profit as operating profit, i.e. gross income. However the term is generally best avoided in financial reporting because it has no universally understood meaning. As for why the general understanding of the term would be gross income, it's because you would say a company is taxed on profit, not revenue. This is shorthand for a more technically correct but also more cumbersome phrase.

Re: What was their profit, though?
Nope... did a search for the word "profit". Not mentioned in the article, and it's only the one page long...
Net income is mentioned, but I was asking about operating profit. The article states net income as being up by 16% on like quarters, not "still the same".
We want to know, are they paying their fair dues in taxes??!!

Re: all that mess in Egypt way back when?
Way, way back, many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began,
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, a fine example of a family man.
Jacob... Jacob and sons, working hard on the farm to earn their keep.
Jacob... Jacob and sons, spent all of their days in the fields with sheep.

No-one in their right mind, though, would put a data centre in, say, Bermuda, BVI, Cayman Islands, Puerto Rica etc. unless it was absolutely necessary and the centre, the power supply and the network cables were hurricane and tsunami proof. Not forgetting human access to the area by boat or plane and indeed permanent residential properties for on-site engineers etc.
