It's all STERLING isn't it?

Which is in Scottishland.

Well funnily enough, English notes don't say Sterling, Scottish ones DO

Just a big bag of worms.

It was a dumb joke. Forget it... I can't fight worms.

I'm trying to fight IVF, litter in our parks AND my own personal war on internet 'smileys' with only plastic M&S forks today.

I think you'll find it's spelt Stirling, which kind of spoils your point a little

Like I said. It was a pun based joke. Admitedly not one of my finer moments but there was no point. There isn't usually with pun based humour.

I'm going back to my plastic cutlery counting now. Please shush.

Whoops misread the first post, good pun, missed that one, for which I will refrain from a smillie.

Try explaining to an English call centre worker that you live in Stirling. "Sterling?". "No, Stirling". "Can you spell that?"

When I lived in Ashby de la Zouch, trying to phone from the Shetlands in the 70's was a non starter, last try went like this.

"I would like to make a transfer call to Ashby de la Zouch"
"OK sir, is that in Belguim?"
"No its in Leicestershire"
"Can you spell it"
" A S H B Y DE LA......"
"Whats that after Ashby?"
"DE, as in Delta Echo"
"Oh Ashby Delta Echo"...... end of converstion as I put the phone down...

lots of dodgy £1 coins about now

A good few years ago an acquantance of mine used to run a market stall on which he was passing off fake pound coins. He was doing quite well until one day a bloke who'd just bought something stood around waiting for his OH to appear from elsewhere.

Idly tossing one of the pound coins he'd just been given by my friend, said coin landed in his palm that was cradling a few other of the coins....they all chipped/shattered...

Friend had to explain himself in court...and didn't explain it very well...

When I used to work in the local newsagents donkeys years ago we used to get loads of them, typically from the local steak and kidney lock opener brigade.

Myself and the rest of the staff couldnt be bothered to kick up a fuss, even though they were blatantly fake (made of painted lead I'm guessing, you could take chunks out of one with a "real" coin) non of us wanted the trouble that would go with it (for trouble, see "bloody good kicking in the carpark after work")

I hear that Yanks become confused by Irishmen called Scott.
