[META] Player location (US and UK relations)

[yanka]

Um. Is there any specific reason you decided to exclude, for example, Australia? And all the other places where people live on this planet? And will Canadians have to choose "US" ?

[djrazz]

i was in ahurry and under the asumtion i could add more countries later as needed

edit:strike that it won't let me could you please

[brat-sampson]

UK here.

Any questions?

[djrazz]

i've always wanted to know how money works there

we've got the dollor 1.00
quarter .25
dime .10
nickel .5
and penny .01

you have pound shilling farthing pence

i could never find info on how they add up

[brat-sampson]

well shilling and farthing are long gone.

1 pound = 100p

everything else is simple,
1p
2p
5p
10p
20p
50p
pound coin
£5 note
£10 note
£20 note
£50 note

[djrazz]

well im an aussie in france

so ive got aussie dollars and euro dollars lying around (and ive gotta say, aussie dollars r by far the best designed coins... theyre so easy to tell apart -- especially important while half-drunk in a dark pub )

and euro.s ingenuously have E500 notes, which no-one round here accepts (even most banks!) cos theyre absurdly large and too easy to forge... (half the shopkeepers don't even like taking E50 notes, they stop and stare and stroke them and hold them up to the light first!)

and australia sensibly got rid of 1c and 2c coins, they were too small and didn't get used (until u got a pile of them and went to the lolly store and returned with one little chocolate frog if u were lucky)

.. in England there isn't really one


crap i put Europe instead of UK, aghh lib-dems are getting to me (little joke for all the english people out there)

[brat-sampson]

In the UK, pound could also be a quid, £5 notes are known as fivers and £10 notes as tenners.

[Buceph]

Brat: Same here in Ireland, 5 quid, fivers tenners. And every so often people slip back to calling stuff pounds and p's.

What happened to the Asian players? Considering the put an advert, in the South China Morning Post, I'd expect maybe someone over there might be playing. Haven't seen any discussion from there, though.

Edit: Just looked at the poll results and saw 1 person. Better than nothing, I suppose.
