Next time suggest to him to reverse the charges, and possibly remind him that that was an expensive mistake to make!

Alternatively, if you are feeling really kind, buy him a brick!

those 20p's would make plenty of pounds in a day though and people are more likely to part with 20p rather than a pound or 50p
