Beware of fake bank of Scotland £20 notes , with forth rail and road bridge on back.
I've had two and rejected a 3rd last night, it wasn't until later that it dawned on me the guy last night probably gave me the previous one after a short journey. This guy is slim clean shaven and black slicked back receding hair, dropped at Northfield farm.The tell tale signs are grey unrealized hologram dull and papery feeling you can tell best if comparing to a real one,don't hold them to a light they do appear to show through.

Might be worth buying some of those pens on ebay.

Last time I got three for a tenner.

You could have got 6 for £20 and in Edinburgh that's as good as free.

Lols yeah got the pens now , gave him it back last night with a big black line through it.
Was told from bank teller before that you still have to watch now as the fakes are often lacquered now with hair spray or something and it fools the pen test.
