Well there's a park with some ruins from the Roman occupation, which founded this settlement in 79AD. If you count them, that's 1945 years... if not, apparently there are some churches between 800 and 900 years old that still contains some parts of the original Norman construction, although they have been altered since
The problem with vouchers is they can only be used in limited places. What we need is some kind of universal voucher that can be used anywhere to be exchanged for goods and services. Maybe we could put a monarch's head on one side and some sort of famous scientist on the other or something.

So I made use of the infamous rm -rf and sat there thinking "this is taking a long time"... then realised I had my Windows drive mounted as a sub folder and I was in the process of wiping my hard drive of everything!
