Getting Fit and Gaining Pounds

On my way back from the gym (yes, you read right, gym, gonna ache tomorrow), I noticed some pieces of paper fluttering along beside the A40. Pretty familiar pieces of paper they were too, at least at first glance. Twenty pound notes just there on the ground blowing about. Candid camera? A leaking bank? Germans attempting to destabilise our economy? Something wasn't right, the notes were a bit too pristeen, almost a bit shiny, the queen a bit too happy, tipsy possibly, and that doesn't say £20 in the corner, does it, that says £02.
So, I picked one up:
Yes, that's the Rank of England. It says Plenty pounds. The picture on the back is "View of the west face of a cathedral". The bloke on the back is "Sir Max Ellis"
Searching for Max Ellis on the internet, things begin to become slightly clearer,
http://www.junkyard.co.uk/ is a collection of his digital art portfolio, if you are interested.
Hopefully Max/the Bank of England don't have anything against me putting this here!
Anyway, got back from the gym, had a fried bacon and egg sandwich and felt a lot better.
