Whilst walking in the park this lunchtime, two park keepers were brushing up Autumn leaves. As I walked past, I heard one say to the other, 'eh-up, pity these 'ere weren't pound notes'. To which the other replied, 'yeah we would be millionaires by now!'
I polited intervened in the conversation, and told moustachio and his colleague that they would not be millionaires, since pound notes ceased to be legal tender in 1988 (unless you live in Scotland). 'You could only be millionaires', said I, 'if those were five pound notes'.
'Weren't talking to you', said he.
'Well, you were talking about legal currency', said I, 'and that concerns us all'.
'F*** you', said moustachio. 'This is a private conversation and is none of your business'.
I wonder do council employees make a habit at swearing at members of the public when they try to be helpful? A letter has been placed in the post to Chesterfield Borough Council calling for immediate disciplinary action against mounstachio and his 'special little helper'.
