Dear Sirs,

It is with great regret that we have to inform you that the material, delivered under Contract No 1258 / 57 do not conform to the specification based on which the contract was signed.

By separate mail, we have sent you a cutting from this material and one piece from the material of the previous consignment, so that you can compare the two and see the difference.

Because of this situation, we sustain heavy losses because we cannot fulfill our contractual obligations to our clients. In this situation, we are prepared to retain the goods if you will reduce the price, say, by 40%.

Awaiting your early reply,

We remain faithfully yours,

John Brown

Changing Money

In the evening a few participants went to a bureau de change next to the hotel to

change some dollars into pounds.

Last century Great Britain adopted a decimal currency system in which one

pound is worth one hundred pence. Under the new system banknotes remained

unchanged at values of 1, 5, 10 and 20 pounds, but a new set of coins was introduced.

There are three silver and three copper coins.

In London money can be changed either at banks, at bureaux de change or at

customers' services desks in big department stores.

Banks are usually open from 9.30 a. m. until 3.30 p. m. Some are open on

Saturday, but never on Sunday. They accept plastic cards Visa, Access as well as

Eurocheques, traveller's cheques and, of course, cash. Many banks have cash dispensing

machine services.

Bureaux de change are usually open for longer hours and every day. They often

charge a bigger commission than banks. The exchange rates are often shown in the

running lines placed in the windows or on the walls of the bureaux de change for every-

body to see.

When travelling abroad it is always wise to carry your money in traveller’s

cheques because they are protected against loss or theft. Not only are they safe, they are

also convenient. They can be cashed at most banks in the world. Most shops, hotels and

restaurants also accept them.

The London Underground

After their visit to the museum of the Bank of England the Group returns to the hotel by underground. People may use the underground to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car.

Londoners call their underground train network 'the tube'. It covers the whole city. It's a fast, convenient and easy way to travel. Stations are never far apart, especially in central London. Each of the eleven lines has its own name and a distinctive colour to aid recognition.

There are two kinds of tube tickets: single and return. The tickets are sold at tube stations. Besides they sell Travel-cards for the tube, buses and the Docklands Light Railway, or DLR. Travel-cards can be bought at underground stations, Travel Information Centres, British Rail stations and selected newsagents. Travel-cards are valid either for one day or seven days.

At the tube station the participants buy single tickets and come up to the electronic gate. They put the tickets, magnetic strip down, into the slot machine on the right side of the gate. The gate opens and after removing the ticket each passes the gate. Then they go down by moving stairs.

The City of London

The business and financial centre of London is called the City or the City of London. It covers an area in east central London north of the River Thames, between Blackfriars Bridge and Tower Bridge. It is only about one square mile in size.

The City includes the site of the original Roman town. It is an area with a long and exciting history, and it is proud of its independence and traditional role as a centre of trade and commerce.

Many financial institutions have their head offices in the City. The City of London is one of the major banking centres of the world and you can find the banks of many nations in the famous Threadneedle Street and the surrounding area.

Here, too, the Bank of England, the central bank of the nation, is located. Nearby is the Stock Exchange where shares of commercial companies are bought and sold. A little further is Lloyd's, the most famous insurance company in the world.

During weekdays in the City one can see the City gents with their bowler hats, pin-striped suits and rolled umbrellas. This is the "uniform" only of those men who involved in banking and business in the City.

In the City old and new buildings stand next to each other. The most famous older buildings include St Paul’s Cathedral and the Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of

London lives. The new Barbican Centre includes an art gallery, a theatre and a concert hall.

The English Pub

Pubs are important in the social life of many British people. The word pub is short for public house, but the full name is rarely used. Some pubs are called inns. These were originally hotels and some still offer accommodation.

People often choose a pub near where they live as their local and go as regulars several times a week. At lunchtime people may go to a pub with colleagues from work, and in the evening they go with friends.

Most pubs are friendly and relaxed places where visitors can have some beer and, usually, a simple meal. Many of them also serve coffee, but not tea.

Typical lunch in a pub is a “ploughman’s lunch” — bread, cheese and pickle, and sometimes a little salad.

Under Britain’s laws alcohol can only be sold to people over 18. Children under

14 are not allowed in pubs unless there is a family room.

Pubs are not open all day. The owners themselves can decide when to open. Most open for 3 or 4 hours at lunchtime and again from about 6 p. m. to about 11 p. m.

When closing time approaches, the barman rings a bell. After the bar person has called “Time!” customers are allowed 10 minutes to finish their drinks and leave.
