just to say it.
If anyone finds an old pound coin after the date. or even old fivers etc you can take it to your own bank, 99% of the time they will accept it. Lloyds do.
if not you can send it to the bank of England who will always change it.

What with all the signs saying the same (in just about every shop I go in), just what we would we do without you Foxy? |

Got rid of my last ones yesterday. Holding onto the Euros I found when going through 'the junk' just in case  Money, time, enthusiasm, and hope seems to be a large factor in my life at the moment. House goes to auction on the 19th, had the press here on Friday doing some sort of feature on it (I absconded to the pub and let them get on with it...). |

And don't forget your old Draconid's visible last night and tonight.
Copied from Earthsky:
October 7 or 8, 2017, nightfall and evening, the Draconids
The radiant point for the Draconid meteor shower almost coincides with the head of the constellation Draco the Dragon in the northern sky. That’s why the Draconids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight. This shower is usually a sleeper, producing only a handful of languid meteors per hour in most years. But watch out if the Dragon awakes! In rare instances, fiery Draco has been known to spew forth many hundreds of meteors in a single hour. In 2017, watch the Draconid meteors at nightfall and early evening On October 7 and 8, before the bright waning gibbous moon rises into the sky at early-to-mid evening.

What with all the signs saying the same (in just about every shop I go in), just what we would we do without you Foxy? he's bored stiff again - it's the weekend. has it never occurred to him that parking ticket machines are one of the greatest consumers of pound coins and most parkers will be putting money in, not taking change out? old coins will work just fine. maybe the wily (?) fox believes that we UK residents don't have access to the same amazing media resources that he does. |

I'm surprised it's so few. I keep finding them stuffed away in odd places, and they go into the car parking pocket. |

This reminds me of the time I parked in a NCP at Redhill,and found the ticket machine was faulty, I gave it a speculative thump (as you do) and not only did it produce a ticket but also began to,spew out money. The chap who was waiting for me to finish kindly told ne there was no CCTV, a quick check proved him right so the pair of us "tidied up" all the messy money that was making the place look u tidy Phil |

A couple of kids saw this happen and were mightily impressed with my skills and as I wasn't actually skint at the time I gave it all to them. |

My daughter once had a similar thing happen with a Tampon machine (at her wedding do as it happens)......... No money though just loads of bloody Tampax... |
