# I was once in a chippy in Southampton and had to pay an extra 1.50 for curry sauce because they didn't even have gravy on the menu.
When I asked him to just pour it over the chips rather than set that stupid little tub in the bag he looked at me as if I'd asked for a go on his wife.

# Barm? BARM?
God I hate that word. Took me three months to work out what the fuck a barm cake was.

And don't get me started on Warburtons bread being wrapped in wax paper. The world has moved on and The North should catch up.

And breathe ...

# If you keep a Warbourtons loaf for over a day you're commiting bready heresy.

# Seriously. There are supermarkets here who can't keep warbourtons in stock past 2 in the afternoon.
And the fucking bakery is only down the road.

# it is impossible for someone to say "BARM" without someone in the vicinity saying "EY UP CHUCK"
I believe they go together in some manner.

# listen
until you've gone into a chippy and asked for a sausage supper and tried to hand over a bunch of pound notes, you've got no fucking cause to complain

# Pound notes? Where are you living?
The only place I know with pound notes are the Channel Islands.

# Fucking Hell
They went in 1984, 28 years ago.

# Not in the Channel Islands, I was there a couple of months back.
Pound notes. It was cute how they were trying to be different with their monopoly money.

# also not in scotland
last i knew they were still legal tender, just very rare.

well, i say legal tender. if you believe the nerds on wikipedia they aren't actually legal tender at all, but they're de facto legal tender. yeah.

# the disclaimer is that this happened ten years ago
but ten years back pound notes - bank of scotland, i think; i think both clydesdale and rbos had stopped them - were *always* given in change by the butchers in st andrews. i think they had a massive stock of them or something. it wasn't very easy to buy anything with them in england.

for all i know the butchers has shut down and pound notes have finally died.



edit: i just went and checked. the nerds on wikipedia reassure me that pound notes are still issued in scotland, but it's rbos that issue them, not bos. that told me.

# You still get pound notes in Scotland
The seem to cycle between till and wallet, never going near a bank so they're slowly getting less and less recognisable as notes.

# the ones i always got
passed from the butchers and the pub. i imagine the pub then went and spent them at the butchers, because they never gave them out in change. neither did anyone else.
