              Apparently the new pound coins weigh different to the old ones. All the banks have had to re calibrate their counting scales. They're stuffed if you mix the two together in the same bag.

                        A quote from the Young Ones. "My wife asked me if I have change for the phone. "Darling" I replied" You don't have to change for the phone" :)

                        I know it's terrible but it's memorable.
