Remove 1p and 2p coins?

Exactly. One train ticket, one newspaper, one cup of coffee, one quick meal for lunch, one (ok, two) beers on the way home. In none of those cases would you want to purchase anything more than what you needed at the time. These are low cost quick purchases that benefit from fast and convenient payment methods.

Indeed. I'd like to see someone go into a newsagents and buy a week's worth of the Daily Express in one go. Or into Starbucks and buy a week's worth of coffee.

You get an hour off for lunch - you use some of it to buy lunch

Some companies will let you work through lunch and book no more break time than the minimum legally required. Others (I am working for one now, and have worked for a different one in the past) specify a minimum down time well in excess of the minimum required. For many people the time's not long enough to do anything else useful with other than "go for walk"

Please tell me that you are playing the game with Hucker and that you are not taking him seriously. Please tell me that.

20 minutes after IIRC 5 hours.

If your employer allowed you to do that now, HE would be committing an offence. Of course employers are not expected to go to your desk to check, but what they are expected to do is to have the audit trail that shows that they knocked at least 20 minutes off of the total hours present when calculating the paid for hours.

you're not allowed to do that no!

Would that be the call center job that proved to be too much for you? The one that you ran away from without giving any notice? The job that you were too stupid to do? The job that you said a monkey could do?

What you personally do is irrelevant. The fact is that £2.5 billion was spent via contactless cards in the first half of this year, and that figure has doubled in the last 12 months. Clearly a very significant number of people don't think they are "useless", as you described them.

A very significant number of people have disorganised lives, and I don't care for them one bit.

Every response you give refers to "I".

It's not about what you personally do, nor is it about what I do. It's about what the population as a whole does and wants. Do you think issues like the removal of 1p and 2p coins are going to be based simply on whether you personally find them useful?

Trolling, trolling, trolling, trolling as always. And you lot fell for it.

I think it's become obvious that rather than looking for a discussion on the topic, you came here to troll and find someone to disagree with on every issue. Another one for the killfile.

Took you long enough. I trust that you do know that it is the sociopath Peter Hucker that you have been replying to?

I'm not sure who Hucker is, but I hope this fellow gets some help soon.
