The coin star webiste shows that there should be a machine inside the big Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill. Does anyone know if its still there? The website also shows that there's one in Acre Lane Tesco too, but Tesco removed it a couple of months ago and its not reflected in the website, so unsure if there will still be one in Sainsburys, and its a long way to carry my penny jars if not. Cheers.

Glad to be of help. If you want a second tip then, if you travel, open a Metrobank account - they are (I think) the only ones left that don't charge you to use foreign ATMs. We opened one for a holiday account after the Nationwide pulled the plug on the previously well-publicised deal. Save on the 4% to 5% that other banks charge.

What is Coin Star, does it just change small change, as it were?


Because if so, I save up all mine until I've got zillions of pounds' worth and then take it to my bank in Lordship Lane who've always been happy to change it for notes provided I bag it up properly so they just have to weigh it.


They've never charged me for doing that.


If not, just ignore this post :))

The main benefit of the machines Sue is that you don't have to bag up your zillions you just chuck them in and it sorts it all out. 7% is a bit steep mind you.


We have an account with Nat West and they have a similar machine that do it for free in certain branches - just goes straight into your account. My other half takes great satisfaction taking all our change in and getting ?12.58 put into the joint account every now and again.

Doesn't take long at all if you keep different denominations separate from the start.


I find counting change quite soothing, but then I'm time rich and cash poor :)

Really? The HSBC in Lordship Lane? I'm with First Direct (highly recommended btw), but I use HSBC when I need an actual physical bank :)

    • Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore 
    • You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.      
    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
