With the introduction of a new £1 coin, should we come up with a new nickname for our 'quid'?

Just a thought, as Dave 'your mate' Cameron and George 'Dont call me Gideon' Osbourne have come up with a new £1 coin, perhaps we should use this as an opportunity to constantly remind ourselves what a nasty pair of posh boys these two are, I suggest we call this revised coin a 'Tory Snob' and with a little sliding, shorten it to 'Nob' as both these fine gents have proven over the last few years what a pair of d**kheads they really are!

    Indeed, it bears a striking resemblance to the old threepenny bit which is worrying in itself.

    According to the money calculator the comparative current value of three pence in 1945 is 46p.

    I imagine we all know the rhyming slang for threepenny bit, so that could be another possibility!

    The "Eton" would seem appropriate, were it not for the fact that "Baronet Gideon" didn't go there.
