With a FOS sponsor brig named, I would have thought Bill would have posted. Hope you're ok mate?

Hi Tom,
I have a grade 3 ankle sprain at the moment, so stuck in bed with my leg elevated and in a lot of pain.
I have been looking through posts from time to time.
Glad to hear about the FOS, but not as yet looked into the details involved.

Hi Bill, I hope the pain subsides and you get better soon.

Thank you, Tom.

I suggest you both do a bit of digging into our lovely shiny new sponsor.... Crypto companies should absolutely not be allowed as team sponsors, and despite it being a good monetary amount... a very, very dodgy industry to be linked with.

Unfortunately, I think crypto will take over as the standard currency. Particularly when it becomes more actively regulated.
On a personal note, I wouldn't mind saying goodbye to the dollar and currency exchange in general. If crypto achieves that, then that's fine with me.
Unfortunately, it's a bit like a Wild West show at the moment, with some very unscrupulous people involved. I have no idea about the background of our sponsor or its corporate background.

Tom, we should never have got rid of pounds, half crowns, sixpences, shillings, 10 bob notes and sherbet dips.

Jimbo, I couldn't agree more; the thrupenny bit (the coin) was the best ever.
Obviously, I have a massive downer on the FX rip offs and although at this stage Bitcoin leaves a lot to be desired, I can see how a global currency could be good for the world and particularly world trade.
