Get his objection - up to a point, but....but....?!!Comment

I like the suggestion that we all (all Remainers) save them in a humbug jar to take them quickly out of circulation.Comment

An understandable suggestion (especially the humbug bit) but one that could beome quite expensive if followed on every possible occasion...Originally posted by Andy Freude View PostComment

And you'd never be able to store your humbugs in that jar again!Originally posted by ahinton View PostComment

I don't get many 50p pieces in change, but am certainly tempted to keep the Brexit ones somewhere, and annoy the bank when I have £10 of them to pay in. Not the bank's fault, though, and that would only put them back in circulation.Originally posted by ahinton View Post

Maybe a better idea would be for eveyone to save to some pre-agreed secure central location every one that they get and then pay the lot over NHS as soon as they reach a total of £350m...Comment

Another excellent idea - as is giving them to the NHS as they won't be getting the £350 million a week .Originally posted by Andy Freude View PostComment

I can see what he's getting at, but for me there is a far more basic question - just what is the point of that phrase? Is it supposed to brainwash the unbelievers into adopting the official lie by constant contact; given the rise in non-cash transactions that's not the best idea. In view of the effects and question marks of Brexit on peace, prosperity and friendship within the UK and NI, how is a wonky bit of metal going to make things better out there in the big wide world "with all nations"- a world which won't even see it or use it.

I wish I could refuse to accept them in change but given the kind of shopping I do that's impractical, so I think they'll be quarantined so at least I don't have to proffer them as payment. If I get enough they can be returned to a bank.Comment

just let the b*x*s have their half quid's worth of gloat - I suspect they are not going to get much pleasure out of the next few years as what remains of the UK acts as a punch bag between a Trumpted up USA and a combination of French autocracy + an increasingly rightwing neoPrussiaComment
