    Who was the last British Prime Minister to 'offer or demand satisfaction' from an opponent (i.e. offer a duel) whilst in Office?

    Gladstone's first name was William, so sadly no.

    He learnt his trade(?) working for his brother in India.

    I'm sure I could convert if you wished, but British pounds would be easier.

    To make it easier, I'll let you know if higher or lower. The sum is to the nearest £10,000.

    Pretty close folks, but based on todays exchange rates:

    Greater than Teecks Yen,
    Less than Teeck's Rupiah and Darkstrider's proper currency.
