tamol Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 What did India do during World War 2? What did they do? What major battles did they go to? Did they have any flying aces? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Namaste http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Indian+RAF+pilots A quick question in return - I'm proofreading a book where the English author writes the price of things in Rupees as e.g. 100 Rs. I'm inclined to thing after googling that Rs100 would more likely be used. Can you please confirm which is correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Wicky, I think you're trying to strike a conversation with a spammer. 1st post, completely unrelated to anything and sports a link to elsewhere. As an aside, I've never understood the logic behind the English habit of placing currency before the figure when it's still pronounced "hundred pounds" not "pounds hundred". And you don't do with anything else either, like "kg100" or "MPH 100". Cease doing that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could say that if it is a very long figure, at least you don't have to go to the end to find out what currency it is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 And just how often do you get to handle sums too long to read? Unless you're vacationing in Zimbabwe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 It should be noted that Jon gets paid in cowry shells. He has to drive a truck to the bank. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm actually wondering if it's some Imperial legacy. They would write the pounds before the number, but the the shillings and pence after their respective numbers. As in £4 5s 3d 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I got paid in Cowry Shells. I get paid in sand buddy, usually with it kicked in my face. About the only upside is you get an awful lot of grains to the pound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Sand? You're lucky to have sand! I get paid in snow flakes. They don't last long in the summer and in the winter I can't take them to bank because there is no sand on the icy roads... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
