Try using a full stop instead of a comma. Some capital letters after your full stops would be good as well if you use full stops.

ur so pathetic, do you think i really care what your opinion is regarding my spelling or grammar i didnt realise i was being graded on something as trivial. If you dont like it dont read it, grow up and get a life and stop nit picking its not my fault if your own hobby is scrolling through forums finding fault with peoples grammar and spelling. Maybe you should go and find a friend, move out your mums basement and go and get a job i think at the age of 40 you should be standing on your own two feet by now!!!

I thought I couldn't contribute to this but as of today I can, today at college someone yelled to someone across room that 'they cost 40 bob!'. Meaning 40 of your english pounds, meaning 'bob' apparently means pound around here.

I might write to McDonald's to tell them I support them for calling the pound a bob as I can relate.

How do you know whatever they bought didn't cost £2?

Oh this is great - the Boys brigade up here still have a 'bob a job' week and come to your house to collect leaves or weed your garden etc.

I gave them a whole pound last year each - there gonna get 5p per job next time. I'll get the whole house renovated for £1.50!

Should I contact trading standards about the 95p they over-charged me last year? Robbing kids!!

funny we were talking about bobs today with mum and she said my sister and i used to call £5 and £10 5 bob and 10 bob

---

reason was mum and dad used to say 10 bob note and as we were born post dec thought he meant 10 pound note. and chatting to friends in the pub tonight loads of us said we call a £10 note 10 bob !!!

In honesty I don't, but the person who shouted it doesn't have the mental capacity to work out such a calculation that quickly in his head.

All this talk of food has made me hungry, I fancy a McDonalds.

Me too!





Actually thinking more about 'bob', what about the saying 'as bent as a 9 bob note'?

The least 'bob' for a note when I was a kid was 20 (20 bob = a £1 note), so where does that saying come from?
