NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA...
What would I do? It's simple. We kill the Batman.
I'd have called for Robins assistance.:D
Typed my post in understandable English for a start
It was presumably an innocent mistake as the girl serving hadn't seen them before. What more is there to discuss?
Perhaps he thought she was Robin him.
If I was a barman in Northern Ireland I would have accepted it. No danger.
If I was a barman in some other part of the UK and had never clapped eyes on such a note before in my life it could have been Monopoly money for all I knew, so I would have turned it down, too.
Literally ignorant behaviour.
Surely the OP would have said batwoman?
There's a couple of Scottish notes that are pretty much frowned upon because they're very easy to forge...even with just a good scanner and colour printer!
I used to see the real thing quite frequently because of all the fishermen and yatchsmen going back and forth across the North Channel - but in the last year a lot of businesses here have put up "non-acceptance" notices about them, they've been stung too often...
I can sympathise with the OP. I would have been sonarked if this happened to me.
Clearly you have no idea how the real world works?
Could you correctly recognise a Northern Irish or Scottish note and be sure it wasn't a forgery? You'd know what to look for?
Are you sure it was Batman, it sounds more like the Joker to me?
Well, here's the problerm - if it had been Michael Keaton noone would have said a word, but as it was Val Kilmer rejected the £10 note, up comes a thread on Digitalspy...
Can you explain this bit?
Was it years, or hours?
Clydesdale's?
We had a spate of Bank of England £20 note forgeries a while back
Is it impossible, after all these years, for England to educate people to recognise all forms of sterling which are legal tender in their country? All three of them!
Sheesh, we manage here with sterling, (all three versions), and euros running alongside eachother, and our shopkeepers not only manage to sort out the genuine from the forgeries, but also work out the correct change. And yet the English have a stereotype of the Irish as thick, its about time you took the log out of your own eye.
It might just be! Isn't there one that is almost totally blue of various striking hues?
I'll remember that the next time someone tries to 'fob me off' with an English £10 note.
The English really are quite insular and arrogant sometimes.
Not having a dig at you by the way.:)
