A friend of my sister
had just been to the hairdressers to get her hair done (funnily enough) she only had £1 left and that was for bus fare. She got on the bus, handed over her money and went and sat down. She then heard the driver say 'can the lady who just got on the bus please come to the front of the bus' so she went up to see the driver who then complained that the pound coin she had given him was not English, it was Northern Irish so he would not accept it, she argued with him that it had the queens head on it and it was sterling so he had to accept it. He ended up refusing to move the bus if she was going to insist on paying with fake money (his words) She was so upset and humiliated she got off the bus, We're still working on getting her to report him
