...someone gave me a fiver to go away. Ha ha. I asked her if I came back tomorrow, would she give me another fiver?
At first I felt cheap but then I thought 'no, If they'd offered me twenty quid to f*** off then I would of been insulted'. But as it was, they were only prepared to pay five pounds to get rid of me so I mustn't be that bad. 😛

if you practice hard you may get to the point where people are only willing to pay you 2 quid to go away. then you can bask in a well-earned feeling of accomplishment...

Sorry, bad attempt at humor. I'd gladly pay twenty quid to see you busk. Especially if it really means selling your body.

Thanks for asking, Shanshu (I didn't know either). However, in the future, to avoid those nasty Brits from poking fun, run it by Dictionary.com first.
