I use Delia (no nuts -Beest hates). Any apples will do, I use whatever needs using first, and I do peel -easier than washing the wa/xwhatever off and the peel doesn't add anything

Flour of England, fruit of Spain, Met together in a shower of rain; Put in a bag tied round with a string, If you'll tell me this riddle, I'll give you a ring. Usage charges are based on your plan. Airtime, overage charges, taxes, long distance, and other charges, restrictions and limitations may apply
On second thought maybe I'll just shoot you a text.

The third fiver has been found!
I shall continue to survey the cavernous void that is my wallet in the vain hope that the fourth example finds its way there. Quote:

Once again, please for the people who weren't paying close attention. How is English money denominated?

The basic unit of UK currency is the Pound. Often known as GBP and expressed by the symbol '£'.
£1 = 100 pence. Coin denominations are 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. Notes start off at £5, then £10, £20 and £50. The 'fiver' is the first of the notes to be issued in polymer form with the paper version gradually being withdrawn. The larger denominations will follow suit. The foregoing applies to notes issued in England by the Bank of England. Notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks have different designs and £100 notes are also issued.

it was the report of the Irish one being found that drew my attention to the story. But I think the last one -the one spent in Melton Mowbray- is still missing. I bet it's found and someone's hanging on to it to get a better price once the others have sold already and a true market is established.....

It's been only a coin since at least the late nineties, when I was there.

similar to Canada, where they're called dollars, not pounds. The one dollar coin features a bird, a loon. Predictably, the coin is known as a Looney. The two dollar coin? Yup. A Twooney. Looneys and tooneys. hahahahahahaaha

Yes, there is both a £1 and £2 coin. Notes start at £5.
A new £1 coin is coming into circulation next month. The old one is getting a bit long in the tooth now and is easy to forge. The new coin will be twelve sided, is made of two metals and has a number of other security measures which will make it difficult to forge. So says the man from the Royal Mint. New £1 'most secure coin in the world'

and yet the USA persists with $1 bills.... can we please enter the 21st century and shift to coins? or will the stripper strike be too much for the economy to handle?

I usually have 7 or 8 singles in my wallet and have at times had 20 or more. I don't want to carry that many coins in my pocket.

why do you need that many?
There's a $5 bill, there's no reason to have more than 4 singles on a regular basis. Unless you're a stripper on their way home from work. Or a punter on the way out. $20 in singles isn't exactly without volume. Do you roll them and pretend it's something else?

Because I have no social skills I always pay with a bill which will drain you merchants of maximum change.
