This thread is awesome, thank you she_ele, please don't let the odd bickering members cause it to be locked.

From this point on I am skipping all 'unrelated posts' - hiw hard can it be to stick to the title of a thread like this ?

I will toot my horn now, at the shop the other day and an elderly lady was 1.35c short on a purchase, she was going to put back the milk

she had, so I ieaned over to the assistant (excusing myself for butting in) and handed her a $2 coin to let the purchase go through.

The elderly lady was so grateful you would have thought she had won lotto,
