wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 07/22/2009 5:39 pm Careful what you wish for WD1040 I once was out for a night with a young lady , we had a great time in the city and thought it prudent to stop at an off license for some refreshment on the way back to my house..things couldnt have been going better..until the lady behind the counter announced I had just passed her a counterfeit 10 pound note.I had to wait there until the cops came , give my story..id no idea where I got it , in change somewhere..taxi I suspect. Meanwhile my companion wisely disappeared into the night in a taxi home. I get to hang around a liquer store feeling like I done something wrong waiting for the cops , get hassled there and the final insult was No..i couldnt have my 10 pounds back nor could I have the wine and ciggies..my misery complete I walked home.

At least the window looked like it. and wetglaswegian, I'm so sorry to hear that! I guess any taxi money must be checked twice. In China, there was a campaign to stop people giving large bills for taxi fares because the change often had a fake :( Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry, officer, but those aren't fakes - they're simply genuine notes from an older series. When the polymer notes were first issued, the portraits were un-named. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
