spilldig Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Get shut, the sooner the better, their a bloomin nuisance, as Ontarian says round everything up and down... slot machines make em 5p minimum, you don"t have to put money in. That was Canada, not rip off Britain. Nothing would be rounded down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The 1p is currently worth less due to inflation than the 0.5p when it was phased out. IIRC the world did not come to an end. As for rounding up/down this can be enforced through legislation, again no need to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many shops would probably leave prices the same and then round up on the whole bill if you were paying cash, so you would only be "losing out" on 4p maximum anyway, which on a big shop is barely nothing and would actually be nothing if you paid by card.

Ontarian1981 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I (and I would imagine a lot of other people) always put the 1ps/2ps in change I get in shops in the charity box. If theyre done away with I wonder if a lot of charities will lose out? They can now put in spare 5 pence coins instead, the charities will be happy then. Bit like bob- a- job lol.

Padders Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 oh, seems they wont be ditching them after all http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43407298 Great news...I like to walk round my local schools at dinner time, the schoolkids come out buy their fish n chips, etc. and any lose change they have they chuck it away, nice little earner for me.

dutch Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Always said uk is rather slow with actual practical steps that break through old habbits. Next year this topic will still be going on with all the pennies in circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway irrelivant now I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
