They should ban the sale of all of them. The litter problem would be halved overnight.

Punters are happy, wombles have less to do.

The Chinese seem to be well into taking selfies with dead relatives. I dunno what that’s about. ’Sad Selfie‘ with a dead relative in hospital followed by laughing and smiling

I use those tokens, because i very rarely have any change on me.
I guess fewer and fewer people are carrying coins.
Exactly - cash is only carried by; council / crooks / carnival folk I guess fewer and fewer people are carrying coins.

My wife and I would regularly go out to dinner with an architect friend and his wife, he rarely carried cash, using a card for virtually everything.
If our dinner came to e.g. £180, I’d give him £90, and he’d pay £180 by card, he called it, “The bank of Frank.”
As for the tokens, I bought my wife a brand new car in May 2017, it had a pound coin size token on the key ring.
That year the new pound coin came into circulation, so her token didn’t fit any more, she said, “Ho hum, I’ll have to use the new pound coin at the supermarket”, I said, “relax Nicky, I’ll get you a new car”, she said, “Gee, would you?”
I said, “Of course, we’ll put it in the stable, with the unicorn.”

Certainly the use of cash is diminishing, but I think there are some cases not involving charging for the waltzers that explain its presence.I am leaving my ship gig tomorrow and have my wallet nicely stuffed with several hundred in cash, the takings from my tip jar. And in a tipping culture like the US, it is pretty much a necessity to always have some cash available for that purpose.

I managed to go shopping at Aldi without having a pound coin on me. So I was hanging around by the entrance to see if anybody would swap my handful of change for a coin.
A council type told me to push a key into the slot instead.
I can confirm that an E39 key will work

I can just imagine the phone call if the key didnt come back out..
"Hi... RAC?... I can't start my car. Why?... Well the keys are stuck in an Aldi Shopping Trolley. No.. I haven't been drinking why do you ask?!"
I don't buy much ,it's only for me ,I use a basket.
The wheelie baskets in Asda didn't last long ,maybe they were considered poor in hygiene as the wheels of one
are touching the inside of the one underneath when stacked.
Or maybe they were all stolen.
In Esselunga ,Italy supermarket ,it's wheelie basket or full size trolley only ,no other alternatives.

Jeez Louise! The faces on some of that mob, they look like a pack of scavenging hyenas, who’d heard on the grapevine that a couple of lions had left a half eaten giraffe in the bush, and greedily converged on the carcass, only to find that the lions had got the night munchies, and had gone back to finish up, leaving nothing!

I take a mild exception to that cash statement, when I was driving a taxi I always had a chunk of cash on me, as it’s a cash orientated business.
My wife and I would regularly go out to dinner with an architect friend and his wife, he rarely carried cash, using a card for virtually everything.
If our dinner came to e.g. £180, I’d give him £90, and he’d pay £180 by card, he called it, “The bank of Frank.”

When’s the book coming out?
