The Retirement Thread

UK has just released a new £5.00 coin.
I can get these for you via a friend so am taking forward orders.
Cost would be only £10 per coin and postage will be extra.
All payments up front.
1st come 1st served.
Get in quickly and avoid the rush.

You forgot “very limited supply”

I have a couple of collection of old coins

It was a sort of book thing with recessed places to put pennies and silver coins

and a "collectable" set of all coins in circulation from about the 1960s

They are worth an absolute fortune
(if you define "absolute fortune" as " a few quid")

and some officially issued Crowns (the coin - not something His Majesty would wear!!

Walk finally done….very cold, but I don’t think we got the full wind-chill numbers threatened….

A nice pint after 6 miles perhaps slowed the latter part of the day 🫣
Time for a hot bath!

Any unofficially issued crowns?

I had a decent session in the gym though was very stiff when I started my stretches. Weird weather today. The frost lifted very quickly and the temperature went from -1⁰ at 9.00 to 4⁰ at 12.00 but the wind made it feel damn cold. Out for a walk at 2.30pm and the wind had dropped and I was really warm on my walk.

Is it a collectable item????

Bound to turn up on Antiques Roadshow in a few years time

Think of the profit you could make!!!

I am giving you the opportunity of a lifetime

Same here but very small. I expected it to be much bigger.

I got missen a £100 coin a bit back.
Already got a few £5 coins.

Not one of these you haven't..... they are special.

Apparently it's 14% bigger than normal but it needs to be near the horizon or houses to give it perspective

How much battery power does this use, and this time of year with lights and heating what kind of milage are you getting from a full charge?

A. Very little, barely measurable.

B. Thats an odd one to answer accurately. Get in the car on a cold morning and the range maybe showing as 20% less than it would on a mild day, but after driving for a bit the battery warms up and 'conditions' and the range is pretty much restored. Provided the car isn't being used for daft short journeys where the battery has little time to condition the actual range, as opposed to the displayed range, is little different to what it might be in June.

In the van I could run the heater all night set to max and use about 2 litres of diesel.

Well! With all these youngsters popping up I had a look back. I was 62 the first time I posted in here, today I'm 71. Scareeeeeee.....
