71p profit when you swap your trolley with some doddering OAP who gives you a quid in exchange!

Thanks :smile:

Can you keep it down please? I've just put the kids to bed.

Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!

IDIOT! I bet you teach your children how to rip off legitimate businesses. People like you make me sick

​handy for fools like me who use pound coins at lockers, but often forget and walk away leaving it. rather only lose 29p on the odd occasion.

29p for a trolley is excellent value to be fair.

Just bought 2 from HB next to Aldi, went to use it to get a trolley to do my shop, they don't work !! Returned them straight back to HB to get my 58p back:D:(

you think they'll change all the trollies over in 12 months???

And in less than a years time when the new £1 coin is introduced it'll be worth precisely nothing

Must vote cold . This merely encourages people who live in council houses to fill up with a weeks supply of cider bought on benefits ,wheel it home and abandon their shopping trolleys outside old people's houses.

i know what it means :stuck_out_tongue:, who hasn't heard this song? :smiley:

The situation in post #39 is ironic. Your post was moronic. Hehe :stuck_out_tongue:

That's not funny, see post #6 for funny

That is not irony. See post #39 for an example of irony.

These 29p trolley tokens are worth a darn site more than those £20 coin for £20 post free legal tender in botswana limited edition (limited to everybody born yesterday) tokens.

Cleverer or more clever, but never more cleverer. :man:

Actually in my town we have a Sainsburys which is literally just across the road from the main university digs.

A guy in the area makes at least a £5 a week from the discarded trolleys because the students can't be bothered to take them back.​

No you can't. Coin slots are more cleverer than that​

A B+? good effort then? :smile: or a F- will never learn... :disappointed:

Start your sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop. The word English should also be capitalised. :man:

it's ironic because one of its selling points is to be less valuable/ just a piece of metal that is worth less
i didn't ask for an english lesson :smirk:

Can't see the point of buying one of these, when (as others have said) places give them out for free, and they don't always work.

Fair points and I agree with them, sadly though that £1 coin is never in my pocket when I need it (kids!) - having one on my keychain ensures I have one when I need it! Would never buy one though - every one I have had has been a freebie from some event...

You might always have a pound on you, but when I discovered I didn't have a pound coin on me it was helpful when someone gave me a not-coin thingy for free so I could manage to do my shopping.
Which is now in my car (where I would typically have had some £1's, but I think I'd used them for parking or something) and stays there since I can't use it for other things.

these usualy cost £1 or more ironically :laughing:

If you're not near a HB then next time you're in Benidorm just save a few 20 cent coins they work nicely.

In answer to the "why not just use a pound coin there are 1.2 billion of them"... Because if you have a pound coin you're likely to spend it and not have one when the time comes.

I wouldn't want house or car keys dangling off a shopping trolley while I'm considered which beans to buy.

Any Euro ones?

Great for pub pool tables

waste of money. All you need to unlock a trolley is one of those metal ring pulls you see on tins of spam.

Shouldn't you be on mumsnet?

Bought mine a few months ago ar the checkout and found that it won't work in the lockers in the local gym but my Cancer Research one does so I binned this one.

make sure they work, I bought the smiley face one from elsewhere and it was too fat to go in DW sports locker

does it weight the same as an actuall £1 coin. I have some ideas.

free from sainsbury. ask at customer services

Do supermarket trolleys still need these, most of the places round here they have been disabled

This will be perfect for my daily shop for consoles, console accessories, discounted games and android phones.

Brilliant! only have to do that 194 times a day and I can retire!!

This has happened to me years ago before I knew these existed.. I was so annoyed..

You hover near the entrance and then someone will swap you a quid for the trolley instead of walking to the trolley bay. An instant 71p profit.

Don't really understand the concept....

1. You get your pound coin back, you don't get your 29p back.
2. 1.5 billion pound coins in circulation vs one trolley token; what am I most likely to have in my pocket?
3. "If I give you a pound, can I have your trolley? It will save you taking it all the way back." "That's very kind of you, but unfortunately I'm using one of those stupid trolley tokens..."
4. "Why has that knob paid for a trolley token, when there are 1.5 billion pound coins in circulation and you get it back when you return your trolley?? And it's got a stupid smiley face on it..."

a free way

71p profit when you swap your trolley with some doddering OAP who gives you a quid in exchange!

OR GET THEM FREE AT LIDL. ASK AT THE TILL.

In the isle with the stationery in my local (Newtownabbey), lots of designs to choose from...

that's cheap, these are £1 online

Bargain.....retro Acid House smiley.

Go to Home Bargains and party like it's 1989

Non in any of my local stores.

MOT :smile:

Great value as long as it's lighter than a pound, hate carrying heavy keys in first place

Does anyone actually carry a bunch of keys around with them these days? :confused:

Didn't see them at checkouts in the Reading HB this morning.

Thanks :smile:

The new UK £1 coin will enter circulation in March 2017, and The Royal Mint is producing more than 1.4 billion of the new coins. So great until March when no doubt all coin slots will change.

Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!

Thanks I'll check my local HB tomorrow and hopefully they'll have them
