Where they ended up
The rollout continues to go remarkably well, with almost all cash machines converted and dual circulation handling minor change shortages exactly as intended.
TheyKnow: exhausted by his desperate attempts to turn normal changeover hiccups and political resignations into catastrophe · quasistatic: solid agreement with his clear-headed operational data · kookaburra99: pleased by her sensible understanding of dual circulation

- #3 Thu 27 Dec at 11:51 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switch will bring a few days of queues and shops cheekily rounding up prices, but it will be manageable.🔒 private note PintOfMild will definitely be paying more for his Guinness when he lands in Dublin next month.
- #25 Sat 29 Dec at 02:35 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switch will just mean a few days of queues, fiddly change, and pubs rounding up prices before everyone gets used to it.🔒 private note TheyKnow is still jumping at shadows over routine bank housekeeping.
- #29 Sat 29 Dec at 09:53 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switch will just bring ordinary queues, awkward change, and rounded-up prices for a few days before settling down.🔒 private note TheyKnow will never admit that loading cash dispensers is just regular maintenance work.
- #41 Sun 30 Dec at 10:04 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe changeover is routine administration and logistics that will bring a few days of queues and rounded-up prices, but nothing more serious.🔒 private note TheyKnow is still looking for sinister plots in routine trade union talk and standard policing.
- #48 Mon 31 Dec at 00:28 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover will bring typical practical nuisances like queues and price round-ups for a few days, but ordinary trade will adapt just fine.🔒 private note TheyKnow is still acting like everyday shopping will collapse over basic mental arithmetic.
- #62 Mon 31 Dec at 20:35 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover will bring typical practical nuisances like queues and price round-ups for a few days, but ordinary trade will adapt just fine.🔒 private note TheyKnow is still trying to turn routine strikes and shop floats into a massive collapse.
- #98 Tue 1 Jan at 11:35 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover is rolling out with nothing worse than expected slight queues and fiddly change while cashiers and shoppers adjust.Reassured by direct reports on New Year's Day that cash machines and tills are handling the changeover without issue.🔒 private note TheyKnow is definitely running out of doomsday material now that the cash machines are working fine.
- #107 Tue 1 Jan at 16:25 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover is going off without serious trouble, with cash machines working and queues being nothing more than minor, manageable novelty.🔒 private note Punchcard is spot on about a bit of goodwill keeping people patient during a changeover.
- #129 Thu 3 Jan at 00:20 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover is proceeding smoothly, with standard dual-circulation rules absorbing minor hiccups and queues proving to be nothing more than normal temporary friction.🔒 private note quasistatic has a sensible head on his shoulders when it comes to IT recovery times.
- #144 Thu 3 Jan at 23:17 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe cash changeover is proceeding smoothly, with cash machines and retail networks handling the transition well while minor snags and grumbles sort themselves out.His confidence has solidified further as cash machines hit 96% conversion and supermarkets show healthy price competition.🔒 private note The automated ATM rollout and supermarket competition show the changeover is practically sorted.
- #155 Fri 4 Jan at 23:56 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe switchover is moving along very well, with cash machines nearly fully converted and minor retail blunders or crude fakes being easily handled by ordinary common sense.🔒 private note TheyKnow is still grasping at straws over harmless pub mistakes while the network ticks along grand.
- #163 Sun 6 Jan at 14:50 GMT1/4 a nuisanceThe rollout continues to go remarkably well, with almost all cash machines converted and dual circulation handling minor change shortages exactly as intended.Reinforced in his view that the transition is an operational success as conversion numbers climb and dual circulation works as planned.🔒 private note TheyKnow will latch onto any politician quitting to claim the currency is falling apart.
