Bloody Poms!

Australia has plastic money!! Yep i went to my bank to collect my currency this morning and the bank manager (who also happens to be my friend) seemed genuinely excited when i arrived.

'Have you ever seen the money before' she asked.

'Er no' i replied.

'It's plastic, we have all been looking at it this morning'

'Plastic! Let me see' i demanded. It really was!

'It's because of all the surfers that are over there. It's waterproof, so they can go and surf and not worry about it getting wet or destroyed!'

'Nooo that can't be true! A country wouldn't design a whole currency just for it's surfers!' i assured her.

I went to work and showed all my gang there 'Apparently you can't rip them either' my little receptionist said as she tried with all her might to tear it. 'Bloody hell you can't' she concluded 'Look you try' she offered to my sales exec who was pretending to work and not be impressed at all.

After a good 10 minutes of trying to rip and crumple up a 10 dollar note - everyone appeared satisfied that it was indestructible. I could hear the young guy telling someone about leaving £10 in his jeans pocket, his mum and a washing machine - you can guess his point.

I wondered what the Aussie's would have made of the genuine delight they had caused in a little English town before 10am..............'Bloody Poms' maybe?!
