"in single bills"

Is the use of "bills" rather than "notes" normal in Irish English? I'm British, so don't know, but it certainly wouldn't look natural in British English. Loganberry (Talk) 19:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I guess I've become a tad Americani(z)ed :) GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 20:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Factual edit is not accepted

Hi. I tried to add a reference to an earlier betting coup with some similarities to this one, and it was rejected. Can someone review what I tried to add and tell me what is actually wrong with it - it references another Wikipedia page. Text was as follows:

The Gay Future failed betting coup at Cartmel, England, in 1974 used a similar tactic of keeping the one telephone line there busy, but involved initially pretending a lesser horse was Gay Future. Double and treble bets were placed on horses which were then withdrawn from their races, never leaving the trainer's yard, thus all the money went on to Gay Future.
