So, Winston Churchill is to appear on the back of the £5 note from 2016.

Well, I for one shall spend them on the beaches.

I only ever heard the wifes grandmother use "vulgar" language under two circumstances, both circumstances concerned her talking about specific individuals.
Winston was one of those two individuals of her aquaintance who would be talked of in a derogatory manner.

As far as I'm aware and definitely in terms of public circulation.

When I lived in Holland during the time their currency was the Guilder I would often come across the 1000 Guilder note....the exchange rate at the time was about 3.2 Guilders to the Pound, making that note worth approximately £1000.

Then this was either a 10.000 Guilder or just 100£.:O:

BTW the largest Euro note is 500€.

Well sir, if I recall correctly you're from Germany which makes you humourless by default. Therefore nobody could expect you to be funny.:D

I just made a similar experience in another thread here.
I guess no one understands german humour :dead:
