Ok. How many bank's notes are legal tender in the UK?

i believe that it is only one in England, not sure what the state of play is in SCO/WAL/N.I i'll guess twelve across the whole of the UK.

I don't think the Welsh issue their own banknotes.

Try again, you're a wee bit too high. Can you hazard a guess at any of the others?

okay the long now 01996 foundation is a pisstake organisation which mocks which recent(ish) bout of hysteria?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 3:46 pm

Erm... that 01996 looks like a dialling code, I take it it isn't?

Erm. Bout of hysteria... death of Diana?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 3:58 pm

not diana, also it is an american organisation but with worldwide outreach. it doesn't take itself very seriously.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:04 pm

01996 looks like a zip-code then?

Or maybe I should just stop acting like John Nash.

Americans are prone to get hysterical over quite a lot of things, religion, politics, a has-been pop-star getting her nips out..... erm.... is it any of the above

( we all know what I've done here)
