    Changing the subject (because it doesn't refer to the pony of my previous post) I thought that a pony was £20 and a monkey was £50. But I might be wrong. Also, I don't know why they were so named.

    David - no.

    AFAIK 'Pony' is only a monetary term...

    Please could everyone excuse the Brits hijacking the thread to argue about their own language! :lol:

    A Pony is £25 and a Monkey is £50 or £500....as far as I am aware, no idea why though.

    It has to be a 'hint' not anything else otherwise I would give it away...
