Mr banks walks into a bank London and asks for the loan officer. He says he's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow £5000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so Mr banks hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, which costs quarter of a million pounds.

“The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,” says Mr banks, “and I have all the necessary papers.”

The bank officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. After Mr banks leaves, the loan officer, the bank's manager and all their colleagues enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a £250,000 Rolls Royce as collateral against a £5,000 loan.

One of the employees drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, Mr banks returns, repays the £5000 and the interest, which comes to £15.41.

The loan officer says, "Sir, I must tell you, we’re all a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and discovered that you’re a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow £5,000?"

Mr banks replies, "Where else in London can I park my car for two weeks for only £15.41

Homer must be older than 14 then...?
I just don't reply to anything that's not in proper English...and my relatives know that, as I've spent years telling them so.

I actually had a phase of replying in a foreign language and when they complained I pointed out that it's no fun when you can't understand the message.

Still get the odd message a few days after the original message, but written properly as I'd ignored the original one.
