THE Scottish tennis queen, Judy Murray, had her Bank of Scotland note refused in London because the shop 'only take British ones'.

Judy took to twitter to laugh at the incident, after she tried to pay for two doughnuts costing a whopping £9.

"When you go to pay £9 for 2 donuts (yes, really) in London and your £10 Bank of  Scotland note is refused because 'we only take British ones'," she tweeted.

Her followers then chimed in with similar funny stories of their legal tender being refused down south.

Gcon1982 joked: "I tried to buy a round in London with a Scottish note! The barman asked what's a Clydesdale bank.. I told him its a bank for horses but sometimes they let jockeys bank there. He says I think you have had enough mate!"

While Wendy said: "I had this in Manchester, when she eventually took my £20 after management intervened, I bit my coins, she asked why I said I was checking it wasnt chocolate cause I dont accept that."

"Do nut go back to that establishment!," another follower joked.
