Stores not taking old pound coins today...?

[Buster73]

Emptied my change bottle the other week , it had £21 of the now superceded coins , went to the paper shop and bought a few bits and bobs and the rest went on unsuccessful lottery tickets last Wednesday .

We've all had plenty of notice , but some still have to be a bit of an arse about it and kick up a fuss over nowt as usual.

Added to which some retailers muddy the waters by getting some free advertising by extending their deadlines .

Not really a complex issue to sort out is it ?
