I remember my english teacher showing us Princess Bride at school - she showed it to everyone she could, mainly because she knew someone who acted in it. Sadly, my DVD is scratched atm otherwise I would be watching a lot more frequently. But there are a lot of people who know and love The Princess Bride, both book and film.
Definitely! It's definitely one of my favorite movies

And I thought I was one of the only people to ever see "The Princess Bride". By far one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

Having little knowledge of English currency and zero knowledge of the slang, this sight was a huge help for me.

Although originally, one of the terms had a different meaning, and so...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The term "Joey" was originally used for the 4d coin (

), so the/an answer should be £1010 7s 10d.

As you can see from the scan, the card is laid out as a ruled page, then an accounting book, and then the invoice.
Text on the top "page":
Quote:
Each year I consult the same accountant for help with my tax return. She doesn't appreciate it when I bring in my receipts all balled-up in plastic bags, but up until last week, I thought we got on fine.
Imagine my surprise when my accountant's latest bill arrived! How much does she want me to pay?
I can't make out most of the text in the "accounting book" section in the middle.
Text from bottom "page":
Laid out in a table, with columns marked £ s. d., and rows as below:
"Friends" spin-off series
Kingdom from "The Princess Bride"
Queen's headwear
A leatherworker
Pavarotti
A concert piano
Below the table, it says
Total
__________
Prompt payment is appreciated.
The back of the card says:
Quote:
One day, she deceived the woodsman and told him that she was with child when she was not. 'If we continue to provide charity for these orphan children of yours, we shall have no food nor warmth to spare for our own babe, for we are far from wealthy,' she cried. 'They must go, or it shall surely spell the death of the child in my womb.'
It was with a heavy heart, then, that the woodsman turned Ilja and Anja out of his home, for he loved his wife and wished with all his heart to have his own family.
Sadness, though, was of little comfort for Ilja and Anja. As they returned to their path, hand in hand, little Anja wept; and Ilja turned to the woodsman and bade him most bitterly: 'Remember, now, how you treat those in need, lest you someday be in need yourself.' Then Ilja and Anja wandered back into the woods, hand in hand, sorrowful as ever, once again seeking a home and a family gor their own.
