Some Remainers won’t accept the new 50p ?

Very good point, love0C

My father was never keen on our entrance back in the 70s.

He always thought it a mistake

He loved Europeans ... married one once .... just never felt he wanted to be in EEC/EU gang.

Fair enough, he muddled through

He didn't get hysterical when an EE commemorative coins were issued.

He didn't lose his temper when we lost the passport's of old

He even had an EU flag on his driving licence

All things he wasn't keen on

But he just put up and shut up

Because we'd voted in

Even though he hadn't

I’m not trying to ‘get anything’ out of this thread as you say SirChenJin.

It was in the news this evening. I read it and was amused by the reactions of Adonis & Campbell. I merely posted to gauge responses to their comments is all.

Well they should count themselves lucky that is all they have to worry about! Goodness me!!!!!

I will accept them, put them in a jar keep them out if circulation then give an ordinary 50p to a Refugee charity Thats my choice

Remainers are supposed to accept and suck it up - but Leavers are totally entitled to gloat and rub faces in it -

apparently ;)

Exactly what is the point of this thread Urm? At a time when we’re all trying to move on and put the past bitterness and rancour behind us, what are you trying to achieve by posting this? I’m genuinely curious to know what you’re getting out of it.

Usually true GG13 but I bet some Remainers will be eagle-eyed from 1 February! Until they get bored ....

Don’t they have to accept them as they are legal tender?

If I was the shopkeeper I’d say ‘it’s up to you mate, I’m not swapping them - but there’s a charity box is here if you really don’t want it’!

Who actually examines the coinage in their change to see what "editions" they are?

Why are they fools? It's no trouble for a shopkeeper to give other coins.

They're part of the "bread and circuses" routine.

Oh really I don’t think I would notice! Too petty!

Lord Adonis, a Labour peer who has consistently fought to reverse Brexit, tweeted: 'I am never using or accepting this coin.'

Meanwhile, Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former spin doctor, echoed a similar sentiment as he said he will ask shops for alternatives to the coin if he is handed one in the future.

Fools.

I'll happily accept them and donate to the SNP and I'll take them from anyone who doesn't want them

I can't remember the last time anybody gave me cash or I spent any, so at least I won't have to make any decision. I even have a metal disc I use for supermarket trolleys.

So what? It’s a free country - if they prefer not to accept them and want to give them to charity then it’s a win win. It doesn’t impact on your life or anyone else’s, so just move on and stop stirring the poo - we’re trying to mend fences, remember?

It's time we all put the nastiness behind us. None of us knew exactly what we were letting ourselves in for when we voted and could only make the best decision we could at the time. It doesn't mean that all remainers are smug and satisfied, so perhaps the leavers could allow for that.

I do feel there are a lot of bullies out there!

Great.

More money for charity

Oh well, if charity benefits, that's good.

Some people who voted to remain are saying that they will give any Brexit coins that they receive straight into a charity tin.
These coins are a ridiculous waste of money, just like the last lot that had to be melted down.
As Hesletine said, the coins are rubbing the remainers noses in it.
The leavers won, as they keep saying, why not try to be a little gracious instead of gloating.

What a load of c**p. I'm a remainer. I'll spend whatever I'm given.

Their prerogative surely? Who are you to decide if they should or not?
