I would agree to differ if it was just a matter of opinion, but you are ignoring facts.

the Mail? I give it no credence whatever. There may be a grain of truth buried somewhere in there, but NHS Trusts who (voluntarily) listen to Stonewall or other such organisations wouldn't get very far with their patients. As for calling users 'clients', well excuse me but that's widespread everywhere now.

Oh jesus, where the h*ll have you been the last 50 years? When I was at University in the early 70s, a proposed lecture by Eysenck was cancelled because so many students objected to his views. It's nothing new and you can attempt to repeat 'wokism' until you're blue in the face ballot box, but it doesn't mean anything.

You see, the very use of the words "crusade" and "brigade" betrays your position, which is - if you'll excuse me - itself extreme. No-one has been able to successfully define what 'woke' actually means; it just seems to be a modern form of 'political correctnesss', which itself was largely a fabrication of the likes of the Mail. Being disabled, I use the NHS a lot and I can assure you that "woman" and "mother" - despite the bleatings of the Mail - are still in use. As for the whole trans debate, yes there are many issues there which are far from resolved.

I've a few coins like that - always on one face only. I don't see how it could be mint damage? I always taken it to be post-issue damage.

I don't dispute any of that, but what does it have to do with your crazy "extremes of wokery" phrase?

I've absolutely no idea what you mean by "extremes of wokery that are undermining the Western world's entire ethos"

seems to be working ok for me

The same Euros that the women actually won?

Quite. When did the men last reach a World Cup final? oh yes - 1966.

To be honest, that's how I interpreted it as well. I can see how another view is possible - i.e. 'a woman's place is in the home', but that's not how I saw it.

Superb 1904, which is REALLY difficult in top grade. 1893 is only difficult compared to the previous 5 or 6 years which are not hard to find.

kqwakk off...

Another Scottish one... "Would ye like a chocolate digestive or a meringue?" "No, you're nae wrang - I'd love a chocolate digestive"

yes, I was hit by a paywall too. I wouldn't subscribe to the non-dom billionaire far right BArclay Brothers anyway.

Are you kidding? I had a Triumph Herald that was 80 horse power. That's 80 horses given a new job for just one car!

When I make a booking at Cote Brasserie, they always put +44 where I have to enter my phone number, even though both they and I are in the UK.

I think also that especially with 6d's, they are far more protected by their rims than 2/6's and 2/-'s.

The world of vinyl collectors is no different. A slightly battered and scratched first pressing of Floyd's 'Piper At the Gates of Dawn ' is still apparently worth more than a slightly later pressing in mint condition where the ONLY difference is that the first doesn't have the words "File under Popular" on the reverse foldback of the sleeve. Sigh.

definitely NOT a normal 1887 6d!

Agreed. It's AVF/VF+ and as I say CuNi coins are usually no better than F after 15 years.

Yeah, but I don't want to download something just to look at it - a standard link or an inline picture is much preferable.

This is the currency example - as you can see it seems to have had limited circulation; CuNi halfcrowns reached that grade in only a few years.

that's the FRITTER variety, only issued in Scotland...

Perhaps your example is a Taylor restrike, but @Rob would know whether that's possible from the die(s) in question.
