* Explanation added on 20/10/09 for non-British readers:
It is a (hopefully) apocryphal story told about the British army, that an urgent signal was sent from the front: "Send reinforcements, we're going to advance". This was misinterpeted at HQ as "Send three and fourpence**, we're going to a dance".
** "Three and fourpence" = three shillings and four pennies = about 16.6666666666 new pence.
