    the rip off could be.....

    while the USA person would only be losing interest on the 25 cents which be could theoretically banking while pushing his trolley, the GB man would be losing 8 times as much:o

    Just to add - I carry a euro in my wallet just for use at Morrison's, I'm always finding myself without a £1 coin but of course there's limited opportunity for spending euros in the UK so a euro tends to stick around. Somefield however seem have fixed theirs so a euro doesn't fit... why am I contributing to this thread...?

    the americans are always suing, maybe the uk authorities have decided to go easy on the Yanks? - if so this is racism.

    I agree! But do I need to nominate your post as most helpful of the month for coming up with the idea? ;)
