Answer 10

Very special high-grade paper which is made in Wales, and transported under armed-police guard to a small village in Hampshire, where my friends' father used to work - in the early nineties, his was the signature on bank-notes in the UK (J.O. Paige)

     If forgers were to get hold of the paper, their notes would be perfect - currently they have to make the notes, and leave them soaking in eggs to try to get the correct feel to them!

Answer 11

Ah so you fancy a bit of "make your own" eh.

Good luck you are going to need it.
