Why is the race of the owner important ? If it was a white owner would you have put the 'white-run' ? I bet not.
Why is race so important to you? If it was a white owner, I would have put British, Polish, Check, Russian, French etc. Certanly not "white run" as I dont recall saying it was "black run".
That I put Asian run, could possibly be the coincidental fact that the Post Office was an Asian run Post Office. Even the dimmest of bulbs could make that comparison out.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Bit aggressively over-defensive there0 -
I strongly suspect they will not credit your account. If they did then everyone would be sending them fake notes and getting real money in exchange.
They will in reality simply send you a letter thanking you for removing the fake note from circulation.[/QUOTE

So if I was to send you a fake note you'd replace it with the same one but real ? When I have handed in fake notes at a bank in the past, they have taken my details but in neither case was I reimbursed the real value, and I didn't expect to be. Which bank is it that does this ?0 -

Were it a case of refunding the customer, I could just print off a load of fake notes and simply walk into a bank and cash them in:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Yes you were, but I put it down to you being a bit "dim" by trying too hard to look for some racial overtones in the word "Asian".

The overtones and undertones were there for all to see. There was no reason at all to mention anything about the race of the proprietor, the fact you did will lead people to their own conclusions...
And as for calling me 'dim' twice, water off a duck's back, I have no problem with thinly-veiled racists trying to insult me0 -

We discuss what has happened with the customer and a credit would be applied to their account. We wouldn't send out another note, what would be the point in that ? The note then goes to the Bank of England.0 -

The 'replace it with a real note' thing was rhetorical, I didn't think that one would be sent out
I am very curious to know which bank does this for its customers though, as it goes against everything I've read or heard about the removal of fake notes from circulation.0 -
