Can anyone please explain to me what 'English money' is? Many thanks in advance.
That's when the ATM is on the left side.....
Always something puts a downer on 88e SP. Just as it looked like oil was going to boom with a war in the middle east, the tensions ease and a bloody apocolyptic coronavirus comes along just in time for our Charlie 1 and scuppers the OP. You couldn't make it up!! Those Chinese need to sort their pesky food markets out.
English money is made in Llantrisant along with other UK coinage. The manufactoring process and materials are the same but the English coins go through the polishing machines twice, so they pay 5% more. The Scots get a 5% discount because they polish them by keeping them in their sporrans for 6 months before spending them, by which time they have a mirror like sheen anyway. The Welsh and Irish just take them in standard form. I believe notes are printed somewhere in Europe these days, using recycled plastic food containers.
LeMajor...at last a bit of humour on this board! I forgive you for the foul slur on my nation. In fact, we keep our coins for at least a year before spending them...mainly to buy our English pals beer. This board's tenor has been pretty grim recently and any attempt at humour is welcome. Also, a plea to 88e-ers….there are many decent posts on here too but the lack in some cases of proper spelling, grammar and punctuation make them difficult to read. Some take three or four times before the message gets through so please can we make them intelligible before posting? Otherwise informative material goes unrecognised. And before anyone starts bleating about the grammar police...the only people who make that complaint are folk who don't have the basics. Folk whose own language is not English I can understand - but most of us here have been reading and writing since we were five! This is not a serious rant, only a request! :) Let's hope good times are just round the corner for us all and roll on results in Spring.
Sorry Devil not meant to offend (very hard not to offend somebody nowadays) just an observation from all the news reports. Where did the last outbreak, SARS if I remember, come from. Was it Guangong? Sounds Chinese to me.
Anyway..My thoughts do go out to those suffering in China at the moment. Hopefully it will all be under control shortly. They have acted very swiftly to contain the virus, so with a bit of luck...
True, it could start anywhere, but china tends to have the environment that leads to such outbreaks. SARS jumped to people from small wild mammals sold as a delicacy in what are known as wet markets, where live animals can be bought and butchered on the spot and many illegal transactions of wild animals take place. A far cry from the usual shopping experience at my local market. So yes can happen anywhere, but far more likely in these squalid conditions. Sorry but true.
Anyway hope we all have a great 2020 with 88e hitting the big time!!
Islayman,
Could you please put your posts into paragraphs to make it easier to read cheers...lol.
Smoking, of course I will.
It does make reading easier.
I will follow the example set by Catsize.
Cheers,
Islayman :)
Please don't follow the example set by Catsize! As in all things, there is an ideal balance.

And being a former BBC journalist, balance is important! However, it's now got to the ridiculous stage. If a weather presenter tells us it's raining, a BBC journalist will say ' However, I've just looked out the window and it isn't where I am'. Where will it all end? Anyway, spud won't be far away (although subject to logistical possibilities such as weather etc) and I hope it gives us all a lft.

De la Rue (Basingstoke) had the license to print money, but when the BoE switched to plastic notes, they went to some European outfit - so English notes are not printed in England, I suspect Scottish notes are printed in the same place, as they all have to be recognised by auto-counting machines. I detest the plastic notes that will not flatten once creased, someone I know decided to use a steam iron to flatten a couple of twenties - not the sharpest tool in the box. She managed to scrape of a piece with a serial number and awaiting response from Barclays LOL.
Yes, that always made me smile. De. La. Rue. You can't get more British than that.
Miloh...grow up son. The phrase 'legal tender' is a narrow, restrictive technical term only. Scottish notes are generally accepted by custom and practice. We often pay things with bank cards...are they legal tender? No. Cheques? No. But they are accepted. Technically, English bank notes are not legal tender in Scotland but are accepted. Just imagine if you went into a bar in Scotland, tried to pay with an English note, the bar tender holds it up to the light, squints at it then says he won't take it as '.they only take British notes'. That has happened to many Scots in England and it's patronising and insulting. It's the same with Northern Irish notes. I was in a pub in Warwick when the bar person refused to take a Scottish tenner. I asked for the manager, who also refused it. I then offered to pay in Euros, which he said they would accept . But we're not in the Euro! Let's not talk politics but it's this type of casual dismissal that makes many Scots want to leave the UK. I don't think we're ready for it yet and won't be for a while. But the garbage spewed out by the Daily Mail that English people pay for free bus passes at 60, free medical care and further education in Scotland is just that.. garbage. Scotland sends our taxes down to London and we get some of it back - not more - and we choose to spend it on social care. England spends it in a different fashion. That's all there is to it.
