TWENTY-FIVE Pence. They must be joking! What an insult. Imagine what it costs to administer this largesse. OH and I busy trying to think what to spend it on.

I got my 25p in february, I was going to buy myself a bar of chocolate, but I'll have to save my 25p for another couple of weeks for that,confused

You’d be lucky to find a bar of chocolate for 25p!

If you don’t want it then save it up for a year - £13 and give it to charity,
