Western people before Christmas covers impossible fever - spend recklessly. population of hong kong Whatever plan the biggest holiday of the year, it is still going at the last moment to buy more. Today, Saturday, is expected to go shopping population of hong kong 15 million British, nearly a third of the adult population. Everyone on estimations Barclays, leave the store on average 196 pounds (10 500 rubles).
Christmas spending - it is also an important indicator of economic health. For many companies, Christmas gifts make up almost population of hong kong half of the annual turnover. This year, buyers in the UK have already spent 2.8 percent more than in the past.
I asked friends and acquaintances. It turned out that it is in general population of hong kong a mystery. Although cash is needed on many occasions. First there is a long tradition of making small cash gifts to postmen, wipers, milkman and others with whom to domestic affairs all year had to communicate. In the old days this was called a gift Christmas box, hence the name Boxing Day - December 26 output. Some more for Christmas population of hong kong instead of a gift give a few bills in an envelope, especially finicky children population of hong kong or teenagers are not the closest relatives. Others, of the most organized, prefer to go to the store with a pre-calculated amount leaving credit cards at home. So do not succumb to the temptation - intrusive advertising or persuasion sweet-sellers and sellers. Last gifts yet to buy more often on the street Christmas bazaars where also easier with the bills. Fourth say that cash is more convenient at a party somewhere in a pub or club. What it is, except for tips and taxi, I was all that I have told, I will not retell, think out for yourself. population of hong kong But agreed, but with cash somehow decent.
And here is another news - about plastic. Several decades "to pay with plastic" meant to pay by card. Now the new value added confusing - plastic cash. New pound will plastic. Rather, the five-pound note. This week announced that the new five-pound ticket, most running, the smallest at par, will not paper, and polymer - plastic. According to the Bank of England chief cashier Chris Salmon, whose facsimile signature is on all of British banknotes, five are new durable, cleaner and more difficult to fake. Due to the greater durability, they will also give savings - not often need to be replaced. Not to mention that in a forgotten pocket bill will not hurt the car wash.
At five-pound tickets will be a portrait of Winston Churchill. I talked about it here in the article "Churchill Russian population of hong kong Five" ("Churchill in the bill" on BFM.ru), when it was not known that the plastic Churchill writes a new page in the history of the Bank of England: more than three hundred years were paper notes and more early 18th-century hand-signed every major bank teller. First time on the plastic becomes one of the major world currencies. A pioneer in the new technology has been in Australia, the first plastic money went there in 1988. Now polymer banknotes in Canada, New Zealand, Vietnam, Romania, and even some countries. Initially skeptical people population of hong kong accepted the new money. In Canada, some said that when you take this in hand, it starts to smell sweet maple syrup - national product of the country. Others said that the heat left in the car bills melt and crumble in the cold. It turned out no, polymer population of hong kong banknotes are designed for a temperature range from +140 º to -75 º Celsius.
As expected, the plastic five will go into circulation in 2016, and in 2017 will be a new bill to ten pounds, with a portrait of writer Jane Austen, the creator of the beloved Russian readers of Mr. Darcy from the novel "Pride and Prejudice". The Bank of England decided to put Jane Austen on the bill after a vigorous campaign of British feminists, insulted that British money does not remain outstanding women. population of hong kong Churchill should be changed to five-pound banknote Elizabeth Fry, Christian activist, dobivshuyusya in the 19th century, the humanization of the prison system of the country. But that's another story.
