First off you are wrong, they are cash/coins called: pence and pounds, another thing is that the way they are measured are more accurate than cence, nickel and dollars, and finally; the World's currency is derived from ours (e.g Dollars,Euro's and all modern currency)...
One more thing, please don't be rude to other countries as it is like mass prejudice, I don't talk about the common stereotype thought of what an American looks like, don't carry on.

Thanks Cahos but we aren't using Euro because it's not as efficient as the pound and that was just a rumour...

As far as I know, they still use pounds in Britain, although there's probably a few places that take the Euro.I'm also not finding anything involving the recently passed law you speak of, so if you would be so kind as to provide a source?

Ireland uses the euro, the UK still uses pounds and pence.

i think this is what he is talking about.

about half of them are minor ISPs so they're boosting their egos, and its most likely hogwash. it only seems to apply to music and possibly films, and the UK has a hell of a lot more privacy laws than the US.

cjdogger · #5the World's currency is derived from ours (e.g Dollars,Euro's and all modern currency)...

That's what I don't like about brits in general, mostly you are so damn arrogant about your country. The worlds currencies are based on gold, not the pound. Before the Pound even existed we used gold and every country still keeps a deposit of gold, and we most likely will for a looooong time to come.Also if we didn't trade in dollars we'd probably trade in Yen, not the Pound.Also no one here has dissed Britain so no need to get defensive.

actually, american currency is not backed by anything. it used to be though. so not every country backs their currency with gold.

What I thought that meant I couldn't download of here anymore :(

:D i got the joke, i don't know why cjdogger has a stick up is bum.
i love my good old British pound it gets me two dollars which is why i buy allot of my stuff from the us because even with import tax and postage somethings are still cheaper.
i don't know what the hell all that argument about currency was about but ether way i like my pound and I'm glad we didn't change to euros as i can only think in pounds but then again the euro is strong even tho i can get more euros for my pound it didn't go far when i went on holiday.ether way back on topic i don't have to worry as I'm not on one of those isp's and if i was I'd change

I should think so, they are the most poorly rated in the country (according to Which? magazine)

BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse
BT has got to be one of the most expensive and to be honest it sucks as its BT of course
half of them are mobile phone companies that just supply internet for fast cash and often are not even in controlle of that service as they piggy back off other companies

Yeah, really. Also, I believe that American currency is also backed by gold. That's what my Social Studies teacher told me.

Whoa. Anyways, feel sorry for you poms.

Born2killx · #16Yeah, really. Also, I believe that American currency is also backed by gold. That's what my Social Studies teacher told me.

read my post. and my economics professor said that american currency is backed by nothing.
(i wonder if any of the elected US officials know this fact or not...)the average american still thinks that american money is backed by gold and that is false.
then again, the average american thinks that puerto rico is a state, and there are 52 states, and the south is still seceded from the union (lol on that last one).

Stereotypes eh?! Want to know about the American stereotype?! Please don't say things about people in general, that's stereotyping people, and the currency you have has originated from ours, the average white American's family was British and has come over in the great move to America...

Seph · #10Also no one here has dissed Britain so no need to get defensive.

Waylonn did :P

no he didn't he made a joke based on the fat that pounds are a weight, although not a weight we use as we use the metric system
