Pennies ...I’ve had my Phil!

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m on Philip Hammond’s side. He’s right – we do need to ditch the 1p and 2p coins. I’ve got piles of this useless shrapnel all over the house – in piggy banks, kitchen drawers and bulging purses. And I never seem to get rid of it because it’s just quicker and way more convenient to pay for everything with a contactless card. I reckon Theresa May only saved these annoying coins because she wanted to slap down her stroppy Chancellor. Or maybe she thinks if she looks after the pennies, the £18billion spending deficit will look after itself.
