The Β£5 note with animal fat - would you use it?
The Bank of England says it will not withdraw the Β£5 note despite concerns it contains animal fat. The bank says it will be adding a Β£10 note which contains animal fat too. Vegans and some religious groups had voiced concerns, as the note contains tallow, which is derived from meat products. There was a petition to ban the note which got more than 130,000 signatures. Are you offended by this or is it a fuss over nothing? Would you still use the note or do you refuse to? Callers Gagandeep and Sam told Shazia their stances on the issue.
