... was given a reasonable amount of money for food...
That avoids the characters being isolated to UK..
Other than that, Brilliant story!!

Very well spotted and fair point - of course, it could have also been Egyptian Pounds, Lebanese Pound, Sudanese Pounds, Gibraltian Pounds or Sirian Pounds ;o) ... but you are probably correct.
When I wrote the first couple of chapters, which was a couple of years ago now, writing fiction was new to me. At the time, I had not even thought about a totally generic story, and this only came to me a short time afterwards. Looking back through the story, I had not noticed this before and if I could change it now I would have put something similar to what you had suggested.
Thanks again for your comments which are, as always, appreciated.
