Drew £50 out of the minibank at the local co-op at 6am tues,got £13 quids worth of gear from the shop n tried payin wi a £20,bird behind counter then tells me she cannae accept it cos she's never seen one and dint know they were introducing a new note,despite my protestation that i'd just drawn the money from their bank!,dozy cow.
Had to draw another £30 out to get another £10 to pay for me goods,by this time there wa a right queue inside shop,serves em fookin right for her manager not informing her that the notes had changed.
Its not hard to work out why the government have put these notes out with little publicity.
Our currency is one of the most counterfeited in the world as opposed to notes in Australia which have a high plastic content in them,i believe that they are starting to do euros with this plastic content in em soon. (i watch far too much telly)
And incidently, mi mates brother in law just got a 7 stretch for "making his own" just before christmas!
Mind you he had circulated about 1.5m quids worth!
