Since my first attempt at a poll could be called "less than successful", thought I'd start my first thread.
Please be gentle (When the wind blows strongly towards you it is better not to water the lawn).
I didn't type the last bit, not called the oracle for nothing, please may I continue without supervision. :Biggrin2:
Trudged down to the local shop because of the weather, got a handful of copper coins, profuse apologies
etc, but I know he'll get shirty next time I try to spend them there.
Usually go into the charity bin in a shop, what happens after that don't really care. Came back looking for
penniless urchins, even they've gone upmarket. No accusations of urchinism.
Eventually, they'll finish up in big jar, used for toe stubbing purposes. When the howl limit is reached,
I'll end up going to the local bank, after bagging etc. I don't want copper coins, haven't for a long time,
they've been useless for years. My wife keeps saying that to me.
What can you buy (individually) for less than 5p ? Round it up on combined purchases, I don't care.
My mini protest is to pass them across a magnet, during the bagging process. Not tried doctored copper
in counting / weighing machines, the local bank is closer, may try that when I get more annoyed.
Just realized this is reaching mini rant blood pressure, but surely minting, transport, sheer handling time
must cost more than the face value ! I remember when rounding up with decimalization, caused uproar.
Suppose I should be grateful to be around whinging the other way !
That's inflation, good job the BoE target is likely to be 3% !
