If that became law, I'd own a backpack shop!c) Everything you own fits into one backpack.
You're Kim Kardashian?I modelled for that.
You're Kim Kardashian?
She's telling the truth, I've seen all the other pics .. they rejected all the pics of me for some reason though.I modelled for that.
I had that set. With ALL the coins! IIRC, one of the coins was larger and it was a gold colour.@Swifty to be honest, I think she could be high maintenance.
Face it, clearly she reckons £50 is just small change. She's got either Aslan or Clarence as a house-cat, an aquatic toasting fork, a Death Star, and a Trojan's helmet (that all sounds accidently quite rude).
Of course, it's possible that @escargot1 possesses all this equipment as well. Or were you lent it for the photoshoot, Ms Snail?
Here's some '70s blast-of -past Esso alloy medallion coins, all of which we '60s kids would almost have killed each-other for, if it'd meant completing a set...
Silly me, I left the set under the bed. They all went rusty.
Oi! Cheeky!That's some serious bed-wetting going on there.
I pick up pennies out of superstition! Then they all go in the 'copper jar' for playing Newmarket at Christmas.
I remember some lads at my school doing this (about 40 years ago), with those very words.I mentioned somewhere upthread of a not very PC tradition at my school of, without warning, throwing a coin or coins (usually only coppers, maybe the odd 5p or two bob bit), or more infrequently the cheap 'penny chew' type of sweets at a group in the playground or corridor accompanied by the cry 'Jew Scramble!!' An often reasonably violent scrummage would then ensue as any number of participants competed to pocket the coins or other prize ahead of the other 'players'.
"Did you know that scambling days were the Mondays and Saturdays in Lent when no regular meals were prepared and people had to make do with odds and ends? Scambling predates scrambling, to which it is closely related, and meant both "to scatter" and "to struggle", often in the sense of contesting for money, sweets, or food thrown to a crowd, as the OED puts it, "in an indecorous and rapacious manner".
There is no such offence as 'theft by finding'. I've heard this said before. It is not true.
Maybe that was partly why we Brits still refer to small change as 'shrapnel' ... as well as kids also collecting actual shrapnel from exploded bomb debris during WWII, they were also picking up Yank discarded coins?.
I never heard of this before, and it didn't happen at any school I attended.I mentioned somewhere upthread of a not very PC tradition at my school of, without warning, throwing a coin or coins (usually only coppers, maybe the odd 5p or two bob bit), or more infrequently the cheap 'penny chew' type of sweets at a group in the playground or corridor accompanied by the cry 'Jew Scramble!!'

Spend it!I found another penny this morning ... just saying ..
...the joke about 'how was copper wire invented? Two Jews fighting over a penny!' seemed to be told often. I'm not even sure many kids in my school actually knew what a jew was...

Loose change was known as shrapnel in Australia too Swifty - another import from the Mother Country?
