Loving the far superior, iconic, red squirrel. Surely we must have something better than a trout and some bugs though?

I was wondering what exactly you were unsure of concerning the squirrel. (Messed about a little with 'pray continue')
Got ya. They're vermin aren't they, though tomrad seems to think its a red squirrel which is a bit more acceptable, I'll take his word that it is
Just those grey yankee invasive ones that are vermin. The fine red on the other hand....
The greys carry some kind of virus which kills off our indigenous reds when they come into contact.
In true poor research instances though, it wouldn't surprise me to find that the image on the coin was that of a grey!
I think they're bees.
Let's be honest, we're not exactly blessed with a smorgasbord of exotic wild life in this country.
They are supposed to be bees but they do look curiously fly-like. I'm a bee fan, I'll always help a bee in peril, but its still a bug.
I'd like to start a petition in favour of the badger, its my ambition to see a living one rather than an obliterated one on a dual carriageway one day.

Thought it was just me, never seen one living, dead one's everywhere though.
I saw a live one the other week! Ran across the road in front of me. Fucking massive!
Why? As long as a penny remains a unit of currency there will always be a need for it as a coin.

The halfpenny was withdrawn when it was worth more than the penny is today.
That was my point, to take them out of currency.
In the age of contactless transactions and reduction in cash payments is there a need for those small denominations of coins? Are they used as much as they were?
It probably costs the same to produce them as they’re worth!
Could do £5.95 although I'd get rid of 5ps too. I do remember reading some years ago it would have a big impact on inflation, but not sure that argument holds these days. Would have to be a grace period to prepare of about 18 months so perhaps one for the next government.
Apparently it’s common in some countries to round up, but they still put the x.95 price.
