 * On the subject of pictures, would you object if I made the lead image larger? It's a striking photo and seems a bit small at default size. Nev1 (talk) 18:24, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I took the pic I'm hardly in a position to provide an objective answer on that one.©Geni (talk) 07:40, 18 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Good enough for me, it's a bit bigger now. Nev1 (talk) 19:46, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Worth?
The current note says cost could be anywhere between "£17,000 and £4.5 million in 2014".

That's plain stupid because it is creating a range from completely different values. This is not a range of mean values.

Here is the table: ranges

In 2014, the relative worth of £107 0s 0d from 1642 is:
 * £16,600.00 	using the retail price index
 * £16,900.00 	using the GDP deflator
 * £235,000.00 	using the average earnings
 * £660,000.00 	using the per capita GDP
 * £4,520,000.00 	using the share of GDP

That means the lowest value is 0.38% of the largest value! It's meaningless and shows the editor that put it in doesn't have a clue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.44.175 (talk) 18:08, 28 November 2015 (UTC)


 * If you haven't already, it's worth reading the whole footnote, which does explain this. Hchc2009 (talk) 20:07, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
