I'm sure they are used to it. I once stopped in an off license further down Easter Road to buy a packet of cigarettes - you had to get buzzed into a perspex booth first of all, the owner then scrutinised you and if you passed his test you were then buzzed into the shop. The guy in front of me bought a bottle of wine in coins and when he left, following the buzzing out process, he ran straight across the road and into Carol's Sauna, no doubt for a healthy, er, sauna. What I'm really saying is that you are fairly low down the 'scummy customer' rankings. Take heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far worse things to do, it fairly cleared out all the useless coppers as well so its a win win for me, just not one of my proudest moments. I got a work related phone call during my consumption of the pot noodle and it went cold because i was on the phone for so long, eating them cold is even more degrading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The buying a Pot Noodle with coppers story is full on Alan Bennet throbber. Future generations will find throbber's P&B posts and hold them up as Scotland's lost literary masterpiece. He finds the coppers, he degrades himself in front of the shopkeeper, he doesn't get a job, the pot noodle gets cold. He paints these wee scenes of domestic misery so perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the Scottish couple won with a similar amount there were statistics about how much cash/coins you would need if you wanted all the money in cash. I'm not sure just how far the coppers would reach but i remember if you were to take it out in £50 notes and stack them on top of each other it would be about the height of big ben. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
