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 :)

    • There are moves to place Thames Water into a SAR (Special Administration Regime) effectively renationalising it and wiping out its debt.  But then what ?  There is also rumours of lookmg for a new owner, including a Chinese backed group that already owns Northumbrian water and UK power.  Is that a controversial move as it places another of our inferstructural assets in foreign hands?  Should it be renationalised and run as a not for profit government organisation, placing investment and improvements before  shareholders? This in itself would adversely impact pension funds who have invested in utilities.  Its fairly obvious that Thames Water needs rescuing or restructure but what is the optimum and correct path to take ?
