The difference between Brits and everyone else

[table1349]

One thing I must say about the Brits and their money, at least they had interesting names for their coins. I never quite figured out if the Canadian Loonie was named for the bird or the inhabitants?

If you want some fun go to Scotland and get some Bank of Clydesdale notes and try to spend them in England, especially the 1 pound note.

I can understand that. Do they even drink Budweiser in England?

Well that ought to confuse you! Jersey is an island just off the coast of France......it's been an English and then British territory since the Norman invasion, as has the neighbouring but separate territory of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. British, but not part of the UK (the only British territory successfully invaded by the Germans in WW2).

Anyway, back to Scottish bank notes..some Scots will tell you indignantly that their notes are "legal tender" which may or may not have any standing, but the recipient of payment has a right to decline. Hampered of course in this case, because in England our lowest denomination of banknote is the pretty blue fiver (£5)

As for Budweiser...I believe it is on sale here , but I know of no one who will admit to drinking it.

No, I wasn't forgetting, just didn't want to confuse people. Farthings, ha'pennies, pennies, threepenny bits, sixpence (tanner), shilling (bob), florin, and half crown; lovely. used to sometimes get a 10 bob note in my birthday card from a relative...I was a rich young lad when that happened!

Did you keep it up your nose like mean Mr. Mustard?

Caught the newest photo of you. You might want to go back to the Doc. I detect a bit of a relapse.

That's part of the symptoms. Inappropriate dress.
