    Send all your worthless paper notes to me!

    During WWII there was a serious paper shortage in the UK, all Government memos used the have the phrase "use less paper" written on them.

    One day the office junior was asked to bring in some important documents, he sait that he'd thrown them away because the had "useless paper" written on them....

    I'll get my coat :D

    How retarded is this thread! A tenner...obviously! :rolleyes:
    Yes, obviously.

    Because everyone, everywhere, uses the exact same terminology to describe the same thing.

    Doing your side of the Liffey proud, well done.

    You forgot to consider the €20 handling charge if two fivers were required instead.

    This is a stupid Poll. Re-word it if you want it to make sense.

    A banknote, regardless of how much it is worth, is a single item and therefore we use the singular form to describe it:

    "A 10 euro banknote"
    "A 100 dollar banknote"
    "A 5 pound banknote"

    etc.

    If you want to describe the amount of money (more than one unit of currency) that a banknote is worth, you would use the plural form:

    "This banknote is worth 10 euros"
    "This banknote is worth 100 dollars"
    "This banknote is worth 5 pounds"

    and so on.

    There are a lot of Irish people who sadly went along with what dumbass politicians and broadcasts told them during the euro changeover, and use the singular form for both cases. This is incorrect grammar but that's their problem. :) This is a good explanation:

    If you said a pint cost 5 euro it sounds OK

    A fiver for a pint sounds far from OK!

    Yes I worded it incorrectly (then couldn't change it), then the timewarp made it worse by making my OP second.

    "ce la vie" as they say in Peckham

    Ten euro. Why the "s"? Sure, its plural and all, but time is money. And it just sounds wrong otherwise
