    What is it with vegetarians and their veggie sausages and veggie burgers? I'm a meat eater, but I don't go around making carrots and sprouts out of beef.

    This is a genuine offer to all Vegans bring any fivers you don't want to the City on Saturday and I will happily take them from you and ensure thy find a good home .

    Same goes for your cars and homes ,its not right you should suffer.

    People can laugh about this but people also laughed about the new greased cartridges before the Indian Mutiny!

    Non-vegan fivers could be the the final straw. First Brexit, then Trump, followed by Grealish.... now dodgy notes!

    "Cows are considered sacred by Hindus, many of whom don't wear shoes or carry bags "

    can`t say i`ve seen many cows wearing shoes either, (the four legged variety of cow that is)

    I get the Hindu outrage but veggies

    If God wanted us to be vegetarians he wouldn't have made animals out of meat!

    Even though I don't eat meat I don't have a problem with it, it's not like they are killing the animals just to make 5 pound notes, if they were it would be a different story, you can't stop people eating meat so surely it's better to get as much use out of the ones that are killed?

    A Very Precise Calculation of Exactly How Many Cows Are Being Murdered to Make the New Fivers
    By Morgan Harries

    November 30, 2016


    The Maths!

    Tallow is rendered cow or mutton fat, but for the sake of argument let's go with cows here.

    How much do cows weigh? Between 1,100 kg for a male and 720 kg for a female. So, on average, a cow weighs 910 kg.

    The body fat content of an average cow is 25 percent. Therefore, the amount of fat in an average cow's body is 227.5 kg.

    How many kilograms of this fat is contained in offcuts you could use to make tallow?About 40 kg, according to a man at the James Elliott butcher in Islington.

    How much tallow is used in one note, according to the Bank of England? "A trace", which chemically means less than 100 parts per million, or 0.01 percent. A polymer consultant I called confirmed that the tallow present in a given polymer would be a fraction of a single percentage.

    New £5 notes weigh 0.7 g, therefore there is roughly 0.00007 g of tallow present in one £5 note.

    How many fivers are in circulation now, and therefore will be around by May of 2017, when all the old paper ones have been phased out? 329 million notes.

    To work out how much tallow will be used in total in all of these fivers, we need to multiply 0.00007g by 329 million, which gives us 23,030 g, or 23 kg.

    And if you get about 40 kg of tallow-worthy fat from the average cow, how many cows would you need to make every single £5 note in circulation?

    JUST OVER HALF OF ONE COW

    Better than handing some poor cashier part of a cow's arsehole as currency...
