My ebay purchases eventually arrived in the post so it's now been flocked. I bought blue adhesive to go with it so it doesn't show any of the green plastic. I'm pleased with the end result.

It's a bit odd that the focus on the government is for all of us to be tested yet there are reports of cats and dogs being carriers but no testing or plans for a vaccine for them. Cats go everywhere, some visiting multiple homes, so how would Boris deal with this? A mass cull? No plans for animals means the virus isn't the agenda.

I can only guess that fingerprints would be used to prove who the DNA sample came from and maybe this info is shared with other countries for travel purposes to prove you have been tested. I can imagine further down the line that say, if I get to a country and I'm not on a test list then I'd be sent back.

Is it only the UK that is known to be storing DNA? It doesn't serve a purpose regarding Covid unless it's for another purpose.

How long before they pass a law to make it compulsory for everyone to have their DNA taken? With Boris promising to spend £100 billion on testing that will probably get slipped in there but for what purpose as not everyone is a crook? If you get arrested they take a DNA swab and if innocent it gets destroyed, now we'll all be guilty. The longer the corona show goes on it looks more sinister as to what the end result will be.

Got this 100 gram Royal Mint bar, thanks to @Ravoma.

It might be worth contacting BBP to ask them if this company is part of their firm.

Those bars were for sale with the Royal Mint around 4 or 5 years ago. I never got around to ordering one and wished I did.

Being 0.045mm thick I'd say it would be 5 grams for all of them together. They should have mentioned individual weights to avoid confusion.

I've just ordered one as well, not bad at that price

There are a couple of my work colleagues who have family in the NHS. One has a cousin who is a director who says it's been blown out of proportion so they are using it to their advantage. Before the A & E departments were overloaded and now they are only dealing with actual emergencies at a level they can handle as people are too scared to visit a hospital. Another one at work said there was a case of a fatal accident which was put down as covid as they had it on their records within the previous 30 days. His wife is a nurse. I'm only repeating what they have told me but I take it as

There's a 1931 Yugoslavian 20 Dinara coin. eBay prices around the £20 range for average condition.

It's how Costco works as you can take a guest with you. All stores are the same.
