  1. Wow - I remember R&L from when I was a schoolkid collector in the late 60s!
  2. Is he the original L or perhaps the son of...?
  3. Tsk tsk - you really need to brush up on your 'averages'!!
  4. It is indeed - and they're still functioning, though it seems to be mostly gold these days, a long long way from the 'good old days' of R&L! (whose Blackpool shop I actually went to in the late 70s and bought a few things from...)
  5. I know, along with Master Bates and Seaman Staines - but they're still good jokes even though untrue!
  6. Oh there was - I remember it. But hardly on any great scale - it rated much the same as Georgia and Chechnya.
  7. There's only one response to "one up her chimney"...
  8. Oh lord, it's her again. And no amount of mentioning "the misses" will disguise the fact.
  9. Lovely coin - certainly scarce in THAT condition.
  10. Who is it anyway - Harry No-styles?
  11. Big mistake, I think. And no, the last Canal Journey I saw a few years ago with Prunella Scales and Tim West she was getting pretty bad, poor soul.
  12. You've posted in the Decimal Coins forum - hopefully the mods will move it to the correct place. And yes, we need to see pictures.
  13. How long before the 'COPY' beneath Britannia's shield is carefully rubbed away and it's offered on eBay for 3 figures?
  14. I remember the mid-70s Fawlty Towers episode 'The Germans' which totally ripped the p*ss out of that anti-German sentiment.
  15. unfortunately, that is the American system for you - everything is "AU" right down to GVF
  16. My bet is that it's not "no H" - the H wears away before the date or Britannia, and yours is a well worn specimen (the mintmark is below the date and would have been in that area of total wear there). The defining issue for genuine 'no H ' pennies is that they have an obverse that differs slightly from the 1882H pennies - it might not be possible to tell from the obverse on yours, but a picture might help.
  17. That's like the New York life advisor who recommended to his women clients that they needed "a new direction". He knew perfectly well what those words could be heard as...
  18. the only toy coin I have! the reverse says 12 PENCE MAKE ONE SHILLING
  19. BETTA
  20. BBC pips where? If in a browser, you'll find it's automatically a minute behind the actual time. I don't know why but that's how it is. I can live with it but it's a major irritation at midnight on New Year's Eve.
  21. Not that big - Elizabeth I was just that!
