Is Anyone Still Trying To Palm Off Old Pound Coins On You?

The combination of that phrase combined with trying to sneak the taxi driver useless coins makes me believe Gravitas is a Yorkshireman.

If you include the fact that he “legalled the guy off” (no tip), then he’s almost certainly at least an honorary Yorkshireman, if not a real one.

I thought it was more Manc. Liam Gallagher for example.

Mind you he's barely house trained.

As an ex London Black Cab driver who had that cretin in my cab twice, I can assure you that he’s not house trained, not enough for my house anyway.
 
I tragically didn't accept an old pound today. Made the poor guy cross the road to go to the bank to exchange it. Technically it's not legal tender though is it, so in reality shops shouldn't be accepting them.

Why do you refer to people in CAPITAL LETTERS?

You mean give emphasis to certain words? It is to try to focus people's minds, in a vain attempt to get an answer to my questions.

On forums like this a worrying number have difficulty answering the simplest of questions.

You just have to be patient and hope one or two manage it.

Every single question I've ever asked on here has been answered perfectly. I suspect this might be a problem on your end.

Legal tender has nothing to do with acceptance for payment for goods or services. Shops can accept (or refuse) anything they like. Legal tender is solely about payment of debts.

My workplace will accept them until further notice. A month, a year, who knows? It doesn't matter - any UK currency carries its face value forever. It's just about convenience and given the amount of cash we handle it's barely an inconvenience. I wouldn't be surprised if we still accepted them in a year's time.

am curious to hear more about this?

I don’t know, how can I put it, as a born and raised blue collar Londoner, I can eff and blind with the best of them, but on the two occasions I picked Gallagher up, (both times on account), he had his mother with him, once from Harrods to Hampstead, the other time from Hampstead to Harrods, and both of them ***** and blinded like good ‘uns,
As I’ve said, I can swear like a trooper, and I KNOW that I’ve uttered the F word in my mother’s presence, but not to the extent that those two did, non stop.
 
Just getting back to the issue at hand, if you get an old one pound coin you want to keep it, it'll be worth something one day ( probably about a quid )

Thanks
 
I didn't even know they had changed :o luckily I don't have any old ones though! However, I do have quite a few old 5 pound notes :(
