Fountain of youth
Had a bit of business to do in England last week, I enjoyed experiencing city life but I was a square peg in a round hole. The weather was cold and grim so I bought a jumper is a store called “moss”, three staff at the till and only me for a customer, they refused my Royal Bank of Scotland £20 notes! “It’s cause eu” one said 😂, what a bunch of muppets!! I didn’t say anything, I still bought the jumper, in fact after paying with English notes I went back in the changing room and put it on, on the way out the manager walked by so I stopped him and told him how I’d been embarrassed at the check out, he states “ it’s company policy, there’s lots of counterfeit Scottish notes.” Brave business decision,four people to pay and only one customer I said, the girl at the till called over,” you didn’t get your change “ keep it, you need it more than me” hopefully the had a laugh about it and maybe they’ll learn some people skills. There was a bit of protesting going on too, harmless enough but there’s nobody except me even looking and I don’t think they liked the look of me ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/Jw85tLz7/IMG-4703.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/xtp6hfWV/IMG-4691.jpg)

Be aware that in Wales you can use the following currency.... Cockles. Welshcakes. 1Welshcake = 10 cockles. Laverbread 1oz = 10 Welshcakes. Big denomination.... 1Can of Felinfoel Double Dragon gets you admittance anywhere. 2cans is being silly. Draught Double Dragon is only allowed for true West Walians, the licence to drink it is granted by the Arch Druid and the Sword carrier ( Robin mcBride) will be calling to non licence holder with his sword drawn and asking " Oes heddwych?" I am sober.. honest. Only 2 glasses of red wine. Many a happy evening on Felinfoel Double Dragon. It was one of the few vegan beers for a while (although things have improved greatly these days). However, some people did have a bizarre intestinal reaction to it - hence the nickname 'Feeling Foul'. I was one of the lucky ones.

[quote=JohnHarris]I couldn't see the cat in the picture, reminds me of Mr R Whittington and colleague and his exploits in ' the big smoke'.  Buying that jumper sounds like a bit of a pantomime.  Been there done that. 😂now there a reference joke which could only work on TM, nobody I met in Birmingham would know who Dick was, I’d probably get arrested if I even asked them! I wonder if AI would understand what you meant?

Well I didn't recognise Birmingham from the photographs, I grew up only 8 miles from there, mind you the relatively clean environment and buildings were confusing. When ever in Birmingham always make a point of going down the Jewelry quarter, still lots of artisan/craftsmen plying their skilled trade.
