Default Completely OT- Legal tender



On Jan 16, 9:12 pm, "The Medway Handyman"
I've checked on the Royal Mint site and I can pay them £5 in 5p coins, £5 in
10p's, £10 in 20p's and £10 in 50p's - which they can't refuse to accept.


They probably deal with tons of change from parking meters, none of
which they count manually.

They'll tip it in the counting machine, hand you a receipt , say
'Thank you" and stifle a yawn.

Many wardens are liars and the wardens who are the most devious and
persistent work dodgers get promoted to supervisory positions. I
sympathise.
