    Whats the most crazyest thing can you buy with a £1 coin

    Sorry feeling in a random mood, so thought might be fun to ask

    1) must not cost more than a £1
    2)if off the internet, postage does not count

    we should have some sort off a prize for the most crazy / funky idea.

    You used to be able to drive a Kia Rio off the forecourt with nothing more than a pound in your pocket and a signature that's pretty crazy I suppose. There was more to pay later though obviously

    I managed to get £1.10 once for a £1 coin cos someone needed one for their trolley and only had 3 x 20p and a 50p and I had no other change.

    In fairness I got a couple of tubes of Condomi Lub from 99p Stores. Much better than KY.

    My wife and I have been married 6 years and both of us pay our NI, so Family Planning would sort us out, but it's so much easier to get it at the 99p store instead.

    As far as I'm concerned, only really stupid teenagers get pregnant through ignorance. The rest of them do it because it's a far more sensible route to a house than trying to save up and buy one.

    Had quite a few good deals for a quid from eBay, including:

    Baby car seat (damned good one)
    Full set of golf woods (half decent brand, driver, 3, 5 and 7)
    Putter (brand new!)
    Golf bag (brand new!)
    and the postage wasn't ramped up to cover
    Moo.
