OK.... I got really desperate this evening. I couldn't be bothered to go to the cashpoint and badly needed to punt. Found a local for £30 suck and fuck... not too bad... only problem is I had 2 £10 notes. I scrummaged down the side of the sofa, looked in old draws, in the cup holder in the car....eventually after 20 mins, I scraped together £10 in a few pound coins and mainly silvers (50p and 20p's)
Was in an envelope.....handed it over to the girl...and she looked at me like I was the biggest scumbag alive
End of the day, it was still the £30 she asked for but she said she had never received it in coins before. Furthermore, she refused to take the money and denied service!
Lesson : Don't pay for a WG with coins...apparently, they don't like it lol
