      Waste of time, it is to get people (mainly muslims/vegans) to accept the new £5 note, Who will refuse to touch it due to having 0.0003 of tallow fat in it (Vegans and Muslims protest)

      One was spent in Kelso (a quiet borders village) at 10:30 on Wednesday, £5 tendered for a sausage roll, You can bet your bottom dollar his accomplice went in ten minutes later and bought a sausage roll using a £20 note, thus getting the last fiver and tenner to be put in the till, before it was made public in the evening
      If you must check then do not waste time trying to see a miniscule etching (loupe) the serial numbers end are 51 - 55

      Enjoy

        It was only a tiny minority of people that objected to the notes. I know lots of Muslims, vegans and vegetarians and none of them could care less. :noidea: All our bank notes contain tallow - apart from everything else in life that does so. The alternative, at the moment, is palm oil which means chopping down trees that help keep the air cleaner.

        Some people would object to anything :doh: :heehee:

        The other week a woman objected, in a nasty tone, when I opened a shop door for her. She said "A woman is quite able to open a door for herself!" My response was "Oh dear! I didn't notice that you were a woman." Everyone around burst out laughing :rasp:
