You know what's really ****ing me off at the moment?

[Rich]

The fact that I still haven't been able to lay my mitts on a new £1 coin. I rarely spend cash at all, preferring to use my phone/card to pay for things. But since the 28th March I have gone out of my way to withdraw cash monies, in the hope that I will receive a new £1 coin in my change.

So far, nothing. Just miserable old gold wons. Very disappointing.

I like the classic pound coin. It has heft.

I used to know a saffer who referred to them as 'nuggets', which always struck me as appropriate. Mind you, he was a terrible racist with a penchant for excessive Guinness consumption, so fúck him.

:nod: I like them too. It has the right amount of weight, feels good.

A racist saffer, who'd have thought it

I haven't had a Guinness for ages. Does it still not travel from Ireland very well?

Isn't suggesting that you'd expect a saffer to be racist just as bigoted as the worst racist? :shrug:

I haven't had one for years either. Too fattening.

I would say that this modern pound coin has the combination of weight and sharp edges that would make it a much more effective missile.

I had one the other week in a pub that didn't serve ale. I rather enjoyed it and it slipped down a treat.

I got my first 3 £0.80 coins yesterday. I also have a bunch of £4 notes, none with any useful serial numbers

In all my life I've not met a non racist saffer.... not saying they all are, just from my experience

[Burney]

Oh, I have. Although she went the other way and was terrifically earnest and nice to a degree I found unsettling.

To be fair, it must be pretty hard for anyone who grew up under Apartheid not to have absorbed a lot of the prejudices inadvertently.

Well, you haven't met me so that explains that one.

It travelled perfectly well from North Acton.

One of the older guys here just said the new won reminds him of the old thruppenny bit, I think you know what hes talking about right?
