    An old next-door neighbour was the first person to come to mind for me, if I'm honest....

    Agreed. Don't get me started on the use of 'Unc' when circulation is obvious. That's my grading scale base mark, from where the scale up from there (corrosion, finger marks, bag marks 'carbon' spots, lustre etc etc) and the scale down from there ( circulation amount, corrosion, flaws, damage etc. etc..) are centred. When that point moves, the scale is ruined, even if it was never intended to be a relative comparable scale that someone else can use.

    You know, I was mulling that over too, but then this is so crude i can't see any 'State' involvement. Perhaps it's a crude token of some sort, but the numerals do look Eastern Bloc.....

    To keep my feet on the ground regarding some Ebay users, I sometimes search for 'chester draws' ( sic) for a laugh.......

    Yes, same coin, I thing the pics were taken at different angles. I've been told this morning it's exactly an inch across.

    Glad you liked it. It's so worth the wait for the ridiculousness to really build, and everyone is on top form. You would also like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfawvs5PouA

    Just been sent these pictures- no size or composition info yet. 1943? Soviet? Head of Lenin? The '9' looks Russian to me....

    Thank you for this. New Decimal pieces aren't my thing, but this is most interesting.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00024pp I hope this works. Richard Osman's treatise on 'nuts' is testament to why BBC Radio should be heard by everyone on the planet. Best thing I've heard for months....

    Lingering afterburn......wonderful. Did the Aussies really try to ban this? It was, admittedly, before their wine industry got good...

    Well it's hardly a replacement....

    Apparently, many years ago a Swiss hotel got fed up with people waking everyone up in the middle of the night by wearing their climbing boots when going back to their rooms, so a sign was put up: 'Please refrain from perambulating the corridors during the hours of repose in the boots of ascension' Marvellous!!!

    If I try to include an HTML link by using the 'chainlink' symbol, and dragging the link into the box that appears, all seems well until I try to post, and I get the 403 'forbidden' stuff. Is there a bug or have I forgotten how I usually manage it?

    I was observing the sun through a colander yesterday. I think I've strained my eyes.
