From 1994. It was in my toolbox - a special tool for undoing Meriden Triumph inspection covers/oil filler caps and so on. Two pence plus p&p
A bit dangerous posting that….as defacing coins of the Realm is a criminal offence under the Coinage Act (1971) In this day and age of unusual sentencing, that’s probably a stripey holiday for you…!
Bugger. I was round there yesterday and forgot to take a pic. Given the clear interest, I'm thinking of putting it in an auction. Bonham's, perhaps. Or Page, Plant and Jones's.
Reminds me of a story from a few years back… A group of young men were out at the night club, one of them, a virgin. “Cor, look at that girl there, nice” ‘Go dance with her’ said his mate. “I dont know how..” ‘Simple, pretend you have a ten pence coin on each shoulder, that you are trying to flick off…sort of..ten pence…ten pence..it will do for a start’… Ok, off he goes, asks the girl for a dance, its going great. In his head, ten pence…ten pence… He comes back. ‘Well then’? “Its going great, but I am out of moves”.. ‘Ok, we need to up your game, pretend you have a fifty pence coin on your k*** and you are holding a pound coin between your cheeks(). Its goes like this’ … shows movements, shoulder, shoulder, pelvic thrust, pull back… “So, its ten pence, ten pence, fifty pence, a pound’? ‘Yes, exactly..cant fail..’ Off he goes, feeling confident. The girl is loving it, great dancer, unusual….. but great..thinks, Im shagging this one! At the end of the dance she drags him off the floor, out the door and around the back. Him, thinking what do I do now. Being a virgin, unsure. Anyway, they kiss, cuddle, mess about. Then get intimate Finaly the moment has come, full on sex, in his mind…he is still using ten pence, ten pence, fifty pence…a pound as he moves against her. Finally, with a scream, she shouts, give it me all!! Without a moments hesitation he does, while shouting “ONE SVENTY …ONE SEVENTY…ONE SEVENTY” !
