The lease for a piece of demised land which is now part of my garden says: > as aforesaid for a term of Nine hundred and ninety nine years from the date hereof subject nevertheless to the proviso for re-entry hereinafter contained YIELDING AND PAYING THEREFOR [sic] during the said term a yearly rent of one peppercorn (if demanded) to be paid on the First day of January every year Possibly the most impenetrable sentence I've ever read, and I had to look up the whole peppercorn thing. Nobody's ever requested anything so am yet to post any peppercorns.
