I think it was his fault we had to stand for fifteen minutes at the till while a security guard took away our Big Euros Note for verification... Brand new from Nat West bank in Birmingham city centre, but standing around like that made us feel like bigtime criminals or something. Bugger!
There's a lesson for everyone. Never take large denomination notes. My other half took a Fifty Quid note for cash back and couldn't find any place to change it afterwards. I learnt thehard way in the states a few years back you can't use $50 bills no body keeps that sort of change in the till.
