‘Well, I’m going to ask for my change as two 20ps and a 10p instead. And if I get one, I’m not going to spend it so it is removed from circulation’.

Get a grip, bellends. It’s a fucking coin. The rest of your money has cunts like Churchill and the Queen on anyway.

They’re ruining the best coin which irks but surely if you want to protest then donate the equivalent of each one to a meaningful cause or something

Or throw them at Boris

You realise there’s a simpler way to do this?

They’re the ones!

Just need a 50p one

I didn’t realise you could get dedicated carboard cards to store your squished pennies in, for the very reasonable price of a fiver. Mrs F loves these machines.

Stick em on rail tracks

Invent a special machine

Well, I certainly haven’t moved on, as it was I who pointed it out yesterday, pedant that I am.

Been trying to work out which I dislike more out of Brexit, Philip Pullman and Oxford commas.

I mean obviously it’s Brexit, but Oxford commas are just hideous.

[And yes it was an accident that I typed out a list and didn’t use the comma there :smiley: ]

Why don’t you like them? They’re super-handy.

Let’s be honest. It’s just a matter of personal taste isn’t it.

And I punctuate like a demented chimp anyway.

Indeed it is, language shouldn’t be prescriptive but rather fit to the needs of the user

(It’s also important to note that I am a boring bastard who enjoys thinking about comma placement)

Better things to do than look at coins tbh

Am just reading a Grammarly article about it as I couldn’t think of why you’d ever need one
