Smooth Operator 10 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Keep toot for some dodgy notes in circulation.

Rob W 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Its like a cheque - its a promise they'll pay you................... up to you if you believe them or not Mind I can remember being involved in a VERY large project for a US Company - the local lads here wanted to borrow the money from the Clydesdale and the yanks wanted to use the (more expensive) ShittyBank "Who are these guys? Are they any good?" The local finance manager got up, opened his wallet and passed over a Clydesdale £ note "Harry, they're SOOOOO good they're allowed to print their own banknotes.............." game, set & match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
