Really they are still accepting old fivers and twenties

The George Stephenson one is too old for the Post Office: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/exchanging-old-banknotes

I've a few of those £5 notes.

A note collector would possibly be interested, hence eBay. I tend to collect coins rather than notes. All part of my 'alternative pension fund' stuff.

Judging by the sounds about hour ago, somebody found some fireworks that they forgot about last night.

Or they overslept

Have you tried paying into a bank account?

@classic33 - yes, not accepted as too old. The form's done and will be posted Tuesday.

Lovely supper of king prawns, sliced avocado, coleslaw, the last three roasties lurking in the fridge, some bread & butter and mayonnaise and mango chutney as condiments.

The girls had the last of their pork loin thingy. Madam Lexi also had a prawn. Well, they do have to be checked to see whether they're suitable for Human consumption, of course...

By way of contrast, I have a collection of "novelty" watches. Such as a Kitkat watch, Wallace and Gromit, and various ones as souvenirs from Railways I have visited. Not forgetting the Holzkern wooden watch.

Aaaargh, which I'd remembered you liked novelty watches. There was an "After Eight" one up for grabs on the 'bay about a fortnight ago...

I've got a couple of bonkers 1970s Japanese automatics, plus two Tissots, an Omega*, a Kelek, a Girrard Perregaux, a Stowa and a Universal Geneve. As well as the Gradus that started me off on this mad malarkey in the first place...

* this is the cheapest of my watches, as I picked it up for 50p on a jumble sale about ten years ago. Most of the others were acquired for the price of a takeaway.

Oh dear! not to worry, but if there are any more, and you remember, let me know. I do sometimes search for "chocolate" watches.

Cars stuck on beaches seem to be common in the Utter Hebs as well. Luskentyre beach is a favourite.

I don't understand why people don't learn.

Unlike last nights one hour meltdown at bedtime, our 2 yo grandaughter who is staying with us for a week or so, went to bed like a goodun.
Id forgotten what it was like dealing with "chillblains' having a tantrum, meltdown, sobbing fit.

Time to visit the Land of Nod. The coachman is preparing the horses.
