Had we gone along as part of their procurement process, it could have been worse. We would have been signed up to receive things eventually, but presumably after their markets had been satisfied based on yesterday's behaviour given we were no longer part of the EU and they are only concerned with their citizens. It's one thing to drive down the price paid, but as always, it's a case of priorities. The Commission's priorities are due process rather than reacting to the urgency of the situation. I think the UK did the procurement bit right in this instance. I know there are people complaining about PPE etc, but when it all settles down I don't think we will be the only people to have wasted money. This acrimony-fest is evidence, if it were ever needed, that the only way to be secure is to have home based sources of anything and everything you need or can do. Make sure you support your indigenous industries rather than rely on foreign powers that haven't the slightest interest in your economic well-being. Particularly not buying something from places like China just because it costs 50p or a quid.

Thanks for the heads up, Richard. Been after that book for a long time. Just won it for £21 - not a bad price for something as rare as hen's teeth. Never once seen a copy on Amazon or e bay.

There was your clue.

Incidentally, this graph showing the fall off in cases among the older age groups after vaccination is hard evidence that the vaccine is working:-

The man behind the legend.

Please could someone explain what the COA will certify - the D, the E or the I, or maybe all three? Or maybe it's the flaw in what is otherwise a pleasant undulating surface, bringing back memories of the sheet as it rolled off the mill?

I don't want to be thought greedy, so I'm leaving this one for you Paddy. 😂😂😂 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1824-1829-United-Kingdom-UK-Great-Britain-GEORGE-IV-Silver-Shilling-Coin-i78087/323812660579?hash=item4b64bd1563:g:IIAAAOSwzG1c41Oo

Tempting, but I think I'll order this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1817-UK-Silver-Great-Britain-United-Kingdom-KING-GEORGE-III-SixPence-Coin-i74308/233864145614?_trkparms=aid%3D1110012%26algo%3DSPLICE.SOIPOST%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111451%26meid%3D325f2a111a5240b4b6af2bcfc783b91c%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D233874301238%26itm%3D233864145614%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DPromotedSellersOtherItemsV2WithMLRv3&_trksid=p2047675.c101196.m2219

The fraudster who made this ‘sixpence’ caught that ‘morning after’ feeling perfectly! Ah, I remember it well.....oh no, I’ve forgotten! Bring back our pubs! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coin-sixpence-uk-1829/284164234670?hash=item4229821dae:g:atEAAOSwu9NgEteg Jerry

Yep. I've not seen one either. Been looking for years...............

A must-have for penny collectors. Michael's Victoria edition has superseded the early pennies but it covers Edward VII to Elizabeth II. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-coin-book-The-British-bronze-penny-1860-1970-by-Michael-Gouby/363269173178?hash=item549487afba:g:XFYAAOSwRFtgDGIm
