Some Remainers won’t accept the new 50p ?

Or just move on and focus on the important stuff.

I’m not pot stirring. It’s a commemorative coin. It’s what Adonis & Campbell tweeted about it that I found childish. It was reported on and I read it. Nothing wrong with that.

If you were offended/thought I was baiting (which I wasn’t) you didn’t have to join in!

At the grocery store a few weeks ago, I received a twenty dollar bill with "TRUMP" penned on it in ink next to the "20", obviously referencing the 2020 election. I promptly took it to a cashier to exchange for a clean bill. She said she'd have done the same!

You were stirring - and when you do that on this subject which has been incredibly divisive, which we’re now being encouraged to put in the past and move forward together you should expect people to challenge the purpose of a thread which is simply opening up old wounds by mocking one side. It’s unnecessary.

Why is it OK for a remainer to start another thread today on Expats in the EU, but it's not OK for a leaver to start this thread? If we're meant to be building bridges SCJ, it cuts both ways.

If you read the other thread people on there are calling her out on it as well.

I’m really not stirring. I’m just incredulous at the childishness of Adonis & Campbell.

If I were an independent shopkeeper I wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction of making a stand. I'd get hold of every old 50p I could then ask them sweetly which coin they'd like in their change.

Hopefully, the old ones wouldn't run out.

OK - Adonis and Campbell are the ones being childish on this occasion and some remainers might give the 50p to charity. Nothing to be incredulous at - just shrug and move on in the spirit of bridge building.

You are right SirChenjin so I shall move on. It was a silly bit of lighthearted nonsense for a Sunday evening discussion. Certainly not a wind up and no malice intended.

That’s good to hear Urm. I think that while wounds are still healing it’s probably best to avoid mocking one ‘side’

I honestly do agree.
??

I shall try to be more circumspect in future. Promise.

I think that’s a good plan and one we could all sign up to. Promise to join you

Aw we have built our own little bridge here. Anyone else want to join us? It’s nice to be nice.

Buddies over Brexit 2020.

I can’t believe anyone in - let’s say Lidl- actually has the time to scrutinise their change as the cashier puts their goods through at warp speed!

If I get a 50p when I am over, I will save it, you never know do you it may go out of circulation at some point. Also cash is becoming outdated. If there are more I will just spend them as normal, monies money.

31/01/2020 Brexit begins, and whatever way anyone voted is now totally irrelevant.

Let’s all move on, hopefully onwards and upwards.

This is funny. I will happily accept any of these Brexit 50p coins that people don't want. As for rubbing Remainers' noses in it, for the last 3 and 1/2 years some people have tried to disparage those who voted Leave, often in the most disgusting manner, so I certainly don't give a sh*t about how they feel.

One idea is that remainers should just keep any that they are given. If they are only issuing a million they could be out circulation quite quickly. I wouldn't mind them so much if the wording wasn't so awful. Did they get it from Mills and Boon or Moonpig. com?

I use mainly cash but it wouldn't occur to me to look at the coinage I was given in the post office or change from shops. I couldn't care less so long as it's legal tender.

NanaandGrampy I was just thinking similar.

When Im serving at my checkout and I give people change, I wouldn't
have the time to sift through it to make sure there are none of these coins in.

I just hand them the change, once my till is closed(usually very quickly I cannot open the till)

It was the same when the beatrix potter 50p coins came out, people would say "have you got any Peter rabbit coins "etc

We don't have the time to scrutinise the coins.
(We do have Charity boxes dotted around the store though)

Clearly then Remainers are still bristling with resentment that their best efforts to thwart the will of the majority, were unsuccessful.

Petty.

I, personally feel, as a remainer, am not 'bristling with resentment '
Disappointed, feeling very apprehensive, of course...
I would like think that if the result of the referendum had gone the other way, I could understand the concerns of people who had voted the other way
I don't find that talk of 'the will of the majority ' will necessarily be cohesive

GrannyGravy I do, so if anyone has any objections to the Peter Rabbit series of coins on the grounds that animals should not be humanised, please send them to me c/o Gransnet

Likewise any other unwanted 50p coins to add to those I am collecting for the DGC.

Thanks.

I am hoping to get one in my change. It will be an important date in UK history, however you voted in referendum. I am pkanningcsmall party on Friday and have friends coming ocer to celebrate with us at 11pm. Champagne on ice. Waitinv to seexwhat Boris has planned for us on TV. Hope no fireworks as my cats hate them.
