I JUST FOUND MINE ! ! !
:D:D
It was still in my original CSB box, and I don't think I looked at it since I finished CSB on my Atari ST. ...quite a number of years.
I still have all the boxes of all the games I bought (and that means quite a lot), but I had no problem to find in less than 3 minutes.
Congrats Paul !

Hmm, I wonder if the seller was really a DM freak though - the head of the coin is upside down!

nah probably just a printing defect.. you know.. like all those W's in the M&M packages..
I've even had a few coins where the queens head is upside down.. which is quite embarrasing to be a Canadian with mess ups like that..
(and anyone who has not yet noticed I'm joking.. check your hair.. you might be turning blonde)

Damn. You only paid a dollar for that? Awesome deal.

Yeah, now you know why I didn't post saying it was on sale! A bargain. I think I might silver plate it, drill it and put it on a silver chain.

Great title... search engine manipulation perhaps?! Not many bikers in DM! Looks pretty cool though.

HP sauce? Made of squeezed Harry Potter? I knew you didn't like him, but isn't that a bit harsh?

HP sauce is a British institution. Its a spicy brown sauce, generally known as just 'brown sauce' that is especially good with chips and pies. The HP stands for 'Houses of Parliament'. It IS the best brown sauce! Daddies is not as good, and Nettos own brand is vile.

Have you not noticed the sweetness of HP sauce lately? Seems to have shot up and has put me right off it. Shame because I loved the stuff too... Haha, Netto - true Yorkshire style! (Never heard anyone else mention Netto outside S. Yorks!)
Uh oh, Off Topic.... time to get back on track...
Have you not seen that Cillit Bang - Barry Scott's favourite seems to be cleaning coins with it. You should give that a shot...
(Who on Earth is Barry Scott anyway?!?!)

OK - I appreciate that half the readers of this forum (i.e. everyone outside the UK) just won't get this at all, but I thought it was hillarious!

Great find George! We actually have the same commercial in Germany - I think without Barry Scott (maybe with somebody else?), but the Rust- / Ground-in dirt-part and the penny cleansing is the same here.

Rofl it is almost sad that someone has gone to the trouble of doing such things to an advert, but yes I agree, it is very funny
