A quick tale from this morning to pay in cash in my local town...
My HSBC bank shut awhile back, as did most others inc nat wast etc. There used to be an HSBC in horsforth (the next closest town) but that shut in july this year, so the only one left is in the centre of leeds. A 20 min train ride or 35 min bus journey...
So i thought Post Office, went to pay the cash in there this morning, an old dear in front of me paying in 5p's, handed the cash over, english notes ok, but the scottish notes were rejected as they cannot verify them apparently (i thought rubbish but anyway) ...
So scottish money in england is almost impossible to use now.. and cash generally is becoming more and more a hassle from pinball jobs. A shame
