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.

Yet again pedantryEven if something is Legal Tender (which Scottish banknotes are not) shopkeepers, cabbies, etc are under no obligation at all to accept it - they can refuse any currency they want. The term "legal tender" only refers to what can or cannot be refused in payment of a debt (a transaction, eg paying for a cab ride, is not legally speaking a debt but a transaction).
