Yeah, I've been looking on the internet about that. I really don't know where I got that. Maybe because on the news when they talk about the EU they always mention the Hague.

maybe in the UK, in the States when they mention the EU or the UN or the "World Court" in the Hague, it is primarily to talk about "the Europeans don't understand that diplomacy will no longer work."

i've got about two large ziploc bags filled with UK currency including coins which i assume will still be good, yeah?

give it to floatingslowly.

Yeah of course

oh i see they're just doing like what they did with the $10 and $20 bills here.
pointless really if you ask me but the introduction of the euro was a brilliant idea.

Yeah a bit pointless. The pound and fifty pence change every year in any case, which I think was a better idea. It's exciting getting each years new money. You should be able to use them as long as they're not really old, I think.

i can't imagine getting excited about things like that. that sounds like my dad sort of hahaha, he collects state quarters and i was over at his house once and he found a state that he hadn't got yet and got all jolly about it.

Hahah, I don't collect money, though I do get excited about things like that.

you haven't got kool aid in the UK do you?
i'm taking an extended stay there soon and this could be problematic.

No we don't. Is it a drink?
Where are you staying?

i'm so new money, IT HURTS, son.

ugh, there's nothing worse than neveau riche. aside from having to look at Adam Smith's ugly capitalist mug on the £20 notes that is.

yes, it's a powder that comes in various fruit flavours that makes a delicious beverage when mixed with the proper amounts of sugar and water.

i'll be in manchester for a bit, then london.

We have the same sort of thing but not actual Kool-Aid. Powder is a little difficult to find though, you'll have to settle for Robinson's dilute liquid.

ALSO, ON THE SUBJECT OF GBP STERLING;

Britannia, who is now missing from the 50p coin, will most likely make a return on the upcoming redesign of the £2 coin, according to the Daily Mail. :)
