Today I was shopping in Tesco ( for those not in the U.K this is a huge supermarket chain ). I was at a counter buying Rizla papers and a little old lady was standing next to me trying to make a payment at the till next to me. She gave the assistant 2 X £2 coins. The assistant refused them saying they were not legal tender even though they had the monarch's head on the front. On the back was a chain and a date and words saying that it was the year of the act of the abolition of slavery. When I heard the words "slavery" I started to listen to the conversation. The old lady was distressed and said that she had been given the coins in another shop and she had no other money.
She was close to tears and said she would have to take the coins back to the shop tomorrow, and I knew it would be a long journey for her. I took the offending £2 coins out of the old lady's hand and replaced them with 4 X £1 coins out of my purse. I said to her, "I am doing this for my mother, she is no longer alive, but if she was I would hope somebody would have helped her "
The old lady was grateful and the shop assistants ( now there were 3 of them ) said it was very kind and I didnt have to do it. I asked all three of them " would you like your own mothers to be in this situation ? They all said no, but they were only following the rules of the store. The old lady paid for her goods and I put the £2 coins in my own purse.
I went around the store and did my own shopping. When I came to the checkout my shopping bill came to £54.22 I have to smile and hope that Jah was working in some mysterious way. I paid my shopping bill with a £50 note and guess what, the two £2 coins that had been refused in another part of the store. The checkout assistant took the coins without even a query. When I took my receipt I said "Jah Bless" to the assistant and drove home.
Some may think I was wrong - but I like to think it was a little bit of justice.
One love.

Greetings family. Just a little follow up. I checked out the Royal Mint site and it gives details of the £2.00 coins - and sure enough, there is a £2 coin issued to commemorate 1807 the years of the Act for The Abolition of Slavery. The reverse of the coin has a chain across it, and one of the links of the chain forms the 0 in the year 1807.
I very kindly printed the web page, and this week I took the print out to the customer service desk at Tesco for their future reference.
Praise Jah.
