    That site really needs a newer stock photo of cash. I felt compelled to look it up: The paper tenner was withdrawn in 2018 and the round pound coins were withdrawn in 2017.

    Feels like last week. Where the hell has the time gone? (Pandemic probably hasn’t helped.)

    Back on topic, those economists are letting their cold, blue little hearts rule their heads. Ghouls.

      First time I came to England before moving here there were still the small, fat pound coins. When I came back a few years ago I thought I was experiencing some weird Mandela effect

        The entire country was scandalised, until we were reassured that the new pound coins would still work in trolley locks.

        I brought some cash I still had, tried to get in the bus from the airport and was told what I had wasn’t legal money. Shit was confusing, went to a cash point really close by and got to see the bus leave without me.
