This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

This is a QotW answer Hull Telecoms
Hull is not on BT - Kingston Communications runs the show there, and it's great. Beige phone-boxes!

Anyway: a number of their payphones mistook 1-penny pieces minted in 1992 for 20-pence pieces. Don't know what it was about the 1992 vintage (vingt-age, geddit? Oh, suit yerselves), but they were like gold when I was a stoodint there.
