i had £35in my purse - a £20 and a £10 which were scottish and a normal £5.
My shopping came to £20.15 so i handed over the £20
the girl on the checkout said - sorry we don't accept these. we take the scottish £10s but not the £20s
i tried telling her it was legal tender but she said company policy - she can't take it. there were loads of people there and it was the only money i had - everyone was staring
thankfully an older man 'swapped' my scottish £20 for an english £20........but still wtf!!
