20 odd years ago a thieving ******* of a glazer stole a 50 quid note

[TheCurly]

I had left on the window-sill the day he came to fit my new double glazing windows.Now,remember 50 quid years ago would be worth about 52 quid these days and boy did I accuse/curse and vilify the stinking ****.All of which he denied of course.
Skip forward to this morning when my new glazer was fitting new windows and found said 50 tucked in between the window frame and the wall.
Mea culpa awimb mea culpa :-(

It must be one of those old A4 sized ones, when money was proper imo.

I'm going to send the young fella down to shop for a Magnum to see if it's still even legal tender

Ask a Scotch, they're always very up on what is legal tender. On account of their lifelong battle to convince people Scotch Pounds are the same as sterling.

Used to get this **** when returning to North London after the celebration of Xmas in the mother land. No **** would touch the old NI sterling notes.

There might be more tucked away somewhere.

Have you checked the fridge?

New sofa on it's way.I should expect at least 10-15 quid down the back of the old one.It's like having one's own mint

Am I failing to understand something here, c? You've found fifty notes and successfully stiffed a tradesman.

That is a result in anyone's book, surely? :thumbup:

Not as bad as United fans it must be said who have been fleeced considerably more by glazers

Nah, **** him. What he did was *practically* stealing, wasn't it. I mean, who builds money into a wall without knowing :homer:
