Opinion on the new British five pound note not being suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Kinda like @lightoflove said i had no idea about it either. I looked it up and this is the last thing I do on ask before going to sleep. I really have to.
One the 5 pound note.
"It's tough. It doesn't tear. You can spill beer on it, put it through the washing machine and it will survive to buy another round. But one thing it turns out it's not, is fat-free.
Because it turns out the plastic polymer it's made from also contains small amounts of tallow, derived from animal waste products - and some vegetarians are not happy."
I can understand they are not happy and that sounds rather gross.
"On Twitter annoyed vegetarians and vegans have said it's "not cool" and "disgusting" and asking whether their rights have been considered"
I will agree with this too. I actually don't know too much about British currency & don't understand how it all works. But.... gtg
