I'm learning british sign language, and we are studying 'transport' at the moment.
I was surprised to see that there is a sign for drag racing, as quite a lot of non-mainstream things don't have signs and just get spelled. Anyway, nothing could have prepared me for the sight of three deaf helpers signing it in unison!
Before I explain it, anyone guess how you'd sign 'drag racing'? You're allowed 5 movements maximum.
p.s. 'real ale' is two moves - pretend you're pulling a hand pump, then drinking a pint. Easy!

Not the right answer, but a good one nonetheless! (edited to add: I probably owe you a pint for making me laugh quite a lot)

Ah no, your answer suggests that the twenty pound notes are in some way retrievable...

They are, but not by you, they pass on to a "better place", e.g. someone elses suitcase
