Ok, Ive heard the pound note refered to as a Quid. Is there a difference or are they the same. See, stuff like this confuses us colonials.

A pound sterling is nicknamed a quid. Just like a dollar is nicknamed a buck.
There are pound coins, but no longer any pound notes (except in Scotland and the Channel Islands).

Yup - pounds are known as "quid". In England, the pound note was withdrawn about 20 years ago and replaced by a pound coin, although in Scotland pound notes (issued by the assorted banks in Scotland who issue notes) were common until well on into the 1990s.
Quid (like sheep) don't take an "s" in the plural - one quid, two quid(not quids), etc.

I don't think they are entirely the same! After all, you can't say "I'm going to quid someone in the arse", can you!?

I really don't mind what you do with your own money, but all I can say is that I hope you won't put it back into circulation afterwards...

I think it depends on how much you owe them and weather or not you have change coming back...
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Perhaps I should view my motor insurance broker in a new light?
A recent renewal quote was for a premium of £534.00 per anum.
I thought at the time that I was being asked to pay through the nose, but....

It's cheaper than my insurance.
This year my renewal quote was £700 and something. I changed suppliers and ended up paying £570. I have one year's no-claims bonus.
Last year it was £1050 or so, with no years no-claims bonus.
