Isn't that nice? Onwards and upwards!!

[Old_Geezer]

Great.

But I bet one of the melted down set would prove more of an investment.

[emmie]

it is, lets hope nothing goes wrong with 31st..

[douglas9401]

I've been touched.

Not pressing charges though.

"Isn't that nice" Wow! Come on Naomi. What's all that about?

[naomi24]

I think it's nice Clarion. Don't you?

[emmie]

I do, i hope that i manage to get one.

[douglas9401]

Coupled with ringing a bell (insert 50p please) it's quite the jubilee.

Can't help thinking it's all gone a bit quiet as reality bites though.

[10ClarionSt]

I like the writing style Naomi, if that's what you mean. It's called Lucidia Calligraphy, found on MS Office. I constantly try to do calligraphy, so the style is interesting.

Emmie, the only place I have ever got those commemorative 50p's, is Tesco. I've had plenty from there. I'm sure they can be acquired in general but I tend to think some shop staff keep them to one side for themselves. Tesco staff are not allowed to carry money.

[diddlydo]

I shall scrutinise any change I'm given and reject these. Zero to "celebrate".

[emmie]

come on diddly, don't be a sore loser.

[naomi24]

Are you going to spend the rest of your life in the doldrums, diddly, because things haven't gone the way you wanted them to?

[diddlydo]

Some of you would do well to read this article:

[diddlydo]

Naomi - it'll be the whole of the UK in the doldrums before long.

[Bobbisox1]

I’d love one so will wait with anticipation for the release

[emmie]

and if it doesn't will you say you were wrong..

[naomi24]

Heseltine is another sore loser.

[emmie]

he is yesterdays man and can't get over the fact we are leaving.

[diddlydo]

Along with millions of others. Another read for you:

Depends on your definition of nice I suppose
