i have issues in my neck of the woods with scottish notes,
i do the commute from west london to company offices in edinburgh quite frequently now
i often return with one or two scottish bank notes...
well i have lost count now the number of times daft people near my home have said they 'cant' or 'wont' accept a scottish bank note....
i bought a pint recently in the pub and handed over a scottish £10 to the bar staff..... i got my change and took my pint...
10 mins later when i was sat drinking my pint when the bar manager and the bar staff member came wandering over with my scottish £10 note and told me i needed to give them ' legal tender' to pay for my drink !!!
i made alot of noise and told them it was legal tender and they should keep the scottish tenner.. we had a heated discussion for 5 minutes over the issue, i drank my pint and left, they really were not happy !
wierd huh, narrow minded idiots !
