throughout my life, i have found that here in uk too, so it must be a multicultural thing,
example, did you ever lend a hammer, lawn mower or electric drill, months later when you needed it, you couldnt find it! why? you got it ,,,, it wasnt returned, so off you go, and ask if you can borrow it back
did you lend your pal a fiver, didnt get it back , so whats the difference in cultures
