JobsworthsAll over the world there are little people following the rules and being arsey because, let's face it, it's fun.
Tell us about your experiences with petty jobsworths, or, if you are a petty jobsworth, tell us how much you get off on it.

Legal tenderJust to clear up the debate on legal tender...
English coins are legal throughout the UK (with limits)
English notes are NOT legal tender in Scotland or NI.
Scottish notes are NOT legal tender in England, Wales, NI or Scotland.
Northern Irish notes are NOT legal tender ANYWHERE.
This means NO banknotes are legal tender in Scotland, and the only legal tender (unlimited amounts) are £1 and £2 coins (smaller coins have limits as to how much can be used at once).
Obviously though, Scottish notes are generally accepted in Scotland, and although they're not legal tender in England, they're not illegal, so it's up to the shopkeepers whether they want to accept them or not.
EDIT: Just noticed a couple of other people have posted this, but I refuse to apologise.
