bastard scouse cabbies
had to go to liverpool for a business thing ... got a train ... local office colleagues said 'it's not far from the station, but the directions are complicated so just get a cab' ... got cab from rank outside lime street (?) ... cabbie moaned like fuck that it was such a short ride, took a strangely long way for a allegedly small run, then refused to accept my scottish fiver. i smiled sweetly and said, 'hey ho, i've got no other notes, tough'. so he moaned some more and whined about 'not being able to change it'. twat. some edinburgh shops in the tourist areas take euro and sterling these days, in irish border towns like derry, use of sterling and euro is common, and i've spent scottish notes in northern ireland and NI notes in scotland ... but scottish notes in dailymailreadersmallmindedtwatland? what is the problem? some neurosis about a lost empire? get flexible down there ...

ps: bring on the euro, but some people would still moan 'can't take that, it's a spanish one not an english one' or something ... arse
