"A thousand pounds! Great Lord of mercy!" [BLUE] One thousand pounds sounds like a lot of money — now and in Sherlock Holmes's time. How much would £1000 in 1895 be worth today? In which stories do we find a mention of "a thousand pounds"? And what is going on around each of those sums? Answers to all of these questions and more are ahead. It's just a Trifle. If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected]. If you use your inquiry on the show, we'll send you a thank you gift. Our Merch Store is open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else's, if you'd like to make it a gift). Take a look around. "Trifling Trifles" is back — short-form content that doesn't warrant a full episode. This time, "Watson's Cases" show the influence of the good doctor.
