WEEK IN NUMBERS

100

The number of years a Dundee GP surgery has been treating patients. The Stobswell Medical Practice, which has 2,500 patients, has been forced to close its doors as Dr Peter Fox, its sole GP for three years, has terminated his contract. A replacement could not be found.

£1m

The amount raised by a charity set up by Fife provost and Pars legend Jim Leishman. It was set up in memory of Jim’s wife Mary and the milestone sum was hit at a black tie ball on the ninth anniversary of her death.

£10

The paper notes issued by the Bank of England which are no longer legal tender.

Notes featuring Jane Austen are the only ones with legal tender status.

£10b

The amount added to the UK’s mortgage bill if a 1% interest rate is implemented.

The increase would equate to adding £930 a year to the cost of servicing the average mortgage.

26

The number of designs for a “quintessentially British” collection of 10p coins.

The Royal Mint has unveiled the series which is intended as an A to Z of what makes Britain great. Fish and chips, the Loch Ness monster and queuing all feature.

91

The age of an artist whose exhibition in a Newport gallery has drawn many visitors. Glasgow-based Norman Gilbert has painted for almost 70 years and his work is still regarded as fresh and current.
