DJ-1701 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 That's a very good point!! I was going to look into trolley tokens as freebies for the ANME, but will hold off now!! I am sure they will be happy with £1 coins... Damn, now I want to be in ANME... though I am not an 'NM'.
RichCowell Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I am sure they will be happy with £1 coins... Damn, now I want to be in ANME... though I am not an 'NM'. haha I'm sure they would be! What are you? lol
FN-GM Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 That's a very good point!! I was going to look into trolley tokens as freebies for the ANME, but will hold off now!! Aren't us geeks supposed to be doing online shopping?
sted Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Aren't us geeks supposed to be doing online shopping? doesent the line at asda count? (other supermarkets are avaliable lol) also its quicker and debatably easier for me to walk to asda than use their website then wait for a can to turn up and i rarely have enough stuff to get over the minimum order level (i debated it when i was ill but without just ordering stuff i dont need right now (so lots of toothpaste/loo roll other stuff without a use by date)i couldnt get close) Edited March 31, 2016 by sted
RichCowell Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Aren't us geeks supposed to be doing online shopping? That's a good point too... we do get dragged kicking and screaming into going shopping from time to time too though... also handy for gym lockers... though I doubt they'd change as quickly...
DJ-1701 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Well they call the job role ICT/Network Support Assistant. Basically sole support for a Primary School and second to the Network Manager in the Secondary, so when he is off, I get all of the fun.

Garacesh Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 That's a very good point!! I was going to look into trolley tokens as freebies for the ANME, but will hold off now!! Give trolley tokens shaped like the new £1 Show initiative! Be ahead of the curve! Other generic business jargon! 1

Dos_Box Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Hang on... Lighter?... Thinner?... Has the new £1 coin been designed by Apple? You'll have to spend an extra 25p per pound to make it work like the old one though 4
elsiegee40 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 You'll have to spend an extra 25p per pound to make it work like the old one though Seems about right with the value of the pound falling. It will also be incompatible with every blinking machine that accepts the current coin. Typical Apple! 3
6Foot2 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Link: 2017: New quid on the block ...This is the first time the £1 coin has been introduced in over 30 years. Around £1.3 billion worth of coins are stored in savings jars across the country, and the current £1 coin accounts for almost a third of these. Therefore it is important that all round £1 coins are returned before 15 October 2017 when they lose their legal tender status...
Andrew_C Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Ahh, my mistake. It is actually worth thruppence. the new £1 coin is based on the design of the old 12-sided three-penny bit, a popular British coin which went out of circulation in 1971
6Foot2 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Ahh, my mistake. It is actually worth thruppence. 0.03 pence from 1971 would be worth around 0.42 pence today. £1 would be worth £14 today. Link: Historical UK inflation rates and calculator

[ATTACH=CONFIG]40458[/ATTACH] Link: Historical UK inflation rates and calculator Your calculations are wrong @DaveP. The old 3d coin would be valued at 1.25p or £0.0125 (the old sixpence was worth 2.5p) So the old 3d coin would be equivalent to 18p now. 1

Garacesh Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Blimey, new quid's a big big, innit?! (Source: New £1 coin: What do you need to know about the end of the round pound? - BBC News) Also I wonder, if Scotland get their referendum and leave, do we have to make new-new £1 coins? 1
