OH S...

you are getting coins at last

not matter much in the UK because the smallest we could get at the bureaux de change was LE100 notes

and for others there the £1 is going out of favour as a tip because they can't get them changed easily any more

I suggest you cut a slot in the lids of two large, empty marmite jars, make them slightly larger than the proposed size of the new coin and leave one on the desk in reception and one in the bar.

If you don't have any empty jars please let me know and I'll bring a couple of full ones over in July - you can provide the toast after an early morning snorkel.

If he doesn't have any empty jars? :rofl
He's probably got thousands of the things, and all with yellow lids.

Unless he put the rubbish out this week, of course.

Could use the big empty jars for the new LE 1 coins and the smaller jars for the 1 quid coins... the more the better... :lol:
