It’s a quid pro quo
Getting rid of fivers will clearly adversely affect the poor the most. New pounds like shite too.
Great work.
A bit confused by this. Are you saying poor people are denied access to the new plastic fivers or did I miss something?
It’s a classic case of didn’t-read-the-article tbh. Thought they were getting rid of fivers altogether, which definitely seems like a thing this government would be up for.
This needs more attention, absolute poetry in motion.
Indeed. Strong, strong posting.
Quite surprised/“impressed” how quickly they’ve supplanted the old ones and become the new norm.
I’d fucking hope so the old one goes out of circulation in October!
fucking hate those old bullshit pound coins, wish id never seen them
It’s strange to think how we ever survived without bimetallic, 12-sided pound coins really, isn’t it?
it disgusts me that we were ever that primitive
They’re too shiny, and I keep confusing them for 20p in my wallet.
Not for shopping trolleys, Wza!
The vending machine at work hasn’t been changed to take them either. It’s a fucking nightmare
I used one this morning and I can confirm that it worked
Wish they’d hurry up with those new plastic tenners.
On balance, I don’t care much for the plastic fiver. Too springy
Eeyore to its Tigger, eh?
I had one of those fivers a week or two back that was held together with sellotape because it was ripped. They said this wouldn’t happen!
