*sighs*

here in the UK, we say we 'feel like a pit pony' as we goto work in the dark, and return from work in the dark' .... like pit-ponies, who spent all their lifes working belowground in the coalmines (the pits) in the dark......

the refererence to 'I claim my £5' comes from various advertising schemes whereby people would go round in disguise and offer a small sum to those who could identify the promoter or product....

jeez, I'm getting sadder & sadder......
