on the subject of U2 and money, some of their fans obviously have too much of it to waste.

A few years ago I got myself tickets to see U2 in Vienna.  Due to a series of unfortunate events, I missed my flight, and didn't arrive in time to see the concert (still had a nice break though Smiley).  I happened upon the unused tickets a couple of months later and was about to stick them in the bin, but decided that a couple of unused (and presumably, therefore, rare) tickets might be worth a couple of quid to a die-hard fan, so I stuck them on ebay. 

These weren't 'souvenir' type tickets, just the bog standard text-printed ones like you'd get from tickemaster or similar.  No practical use to anyone.  Would you believe someone actually paid me £25+£3p+p to Canada for them?!

It was a beautiful day.

Were they the real thing?

For the likes of Tony and Red this might be handy.

The bank does issue 1000, 5000 and 1 million pound notes but tend to be used in house!

In Ilkeston, where I live, many shops will not accept £50 notes, & those that do give me seriously dodgy looks!

Do they not check them under the Ultraviolet light?

Grin

Ultraviolet light? In Ilkeston? You jest.

Seriously, in deepest Derbyshire, it's not done to try & spend £50 notes.

Even £20 notes get scrupolously examined, marked with a special pen, & the Supervisor is called across to give permission for the note to be accepted. I get a little miffed at this, & give any £10 or £5 notes they give me as change the same detailed, sniffy nose treatment, hold them up to the light, look suspiciously at the cashier, even asking one cashier if I could use her special pen to check the change she gave me. They then get all arsey, but if they can scrutinise MY notes, I have the right to scrutinise, equally, THEIRS. I hate to think how awkward I'll get when I get old.

It was another U2 reference.



You whooshed me, damn.

Respect Sir, I am falling at your feet.

On the subject of counterfeiting money I'm sure that I read somewhere that crooks will need to do this in groups now, rather than as a solo operation as was possible previously.

Apparently this is because the new £20 note, with it's extra security, is more difficult to reproduce and so sometimes you can't make it on your own.
