Went into wetherspoons near crystal peaks last night. Gave the girl a £20 note to pay for drinks. She said. Sorry we have stopped accepting the old £20 notes. Wut. They dont go out of circulation till September! Sorry but paper £20 and £50 we can't accept
It’s illegal for them to refuse to take it as it is still legal tender.I hope you told them to shove their drinks. I will order 10pints & then tell them to forget it.
Maybe the Wetherspoons girl was surprised to see a banknote with Queen Victoria on it.
Surely you didn’t still pay? Tell them to do one
