That's what I thought. The writing looks irish.

Close - but "Ellan Vannin" is actually Manx for "Isle Of Man"

I think the date was early nineties, but i just found out that i stupidly gave it away today at work for a chicken sandwich

The one pound... I like it. It almost made me think about, considering, thinking about, maybe, at some stage in the future, smiling.

Lovely stuff.
