Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th October 2026

8th October, 2026.


Right, then: I’m up late.

Or, at least, up later than I’ve been up for the past three days!

So … ?

Getting an extra hour’s sleep is nice: even though it means I’ve got inconvenient sunlight coming through my windows!

~≈😴≈~

In case you’re wondering: yes, I do know what a fluffernutter is.

Yes: there is a question about them in today’s Teaser.

No: I don’t want one.

Frankly, a Marmite and ketchup sandwich sounds like a healthier option!

~≈🍲≈~

Banknotes … 

I don’t have many, myself.

But the country has a lot, floating about.

These include notes with either King Charles 3rd, or his late mother, and with Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J. M. W. Turner and Alan Turing: depending on the denomination.

They’re … handy.

Especially if you’ve got a lot of them.

But … ?

The historical figures are due to be replaced with assorted fluffy animals.

I get why.

Replacing people with animals is being done because the King’s supported many Green campaigns, over the years.

This shows his interest in the subject: and, more importantly, allows the printers of the notes to update the security features.

Which is the important bit.

But … ?

On a personal front, I’m mildly disappointed.

I’m something of a fan of the late Alan Turing: seeing him replaced by a hedgehog is … 

Well … 

Disappointing …
