In the old days...

So legend has it, the difference between 'flu' and a 'heavy cold' was the ability to pick a twenty pound note up off the floor...if you had 'flu' you simply couldn't.

Here we are in the 21st century and times have changed. Given that I've been stricken (and I use that word advisedly) with a 'heavy cold' recently, I couldn't use my BlackBerry for two days...and I'm fairly sure that in old money that would equate to twenty pounds...but I will never admit to having 'man flu'.
