    Sounds like your customers can give ThePhoneGoddess or Gravekeeper's customers a run for their money.
    Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

          Little known fact: there is a business which prints banknotes in Melbourne, on behalf of the mint. My husband's an occasional IT contractor for them.

          They're not the mint, they just do the minting for the mint. (Say that three times quickly!)

          But they don't buy old banknotes. That would be a coin collector's shop.

          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            hmmmmmm Gravekeeper is War, Kara is Death, ThePhoneGoddess is famine..... i guess that makes KyneXY.... is it strife? in the Four Horsemen of the callcenter- I mean appoclypse....

            *MOD EDIT - The correct answer to the last phrase is not "strife", but "pestilence", as evidenced by the numerous corrections from members who have replied before reading through the entire thread first.
            Thought I would throw that in here to prevent any more redundant answers.

                Technically speaking all they have to do is go to any bank and they should change the note for a new one, you will only receive face value for it though, i.e. a white fiver for a new spangly one.

                  Why am I famine, slice?
                  Because as we all know, on the Internet all men are men, all women are men and all children are FBI agents.

                    Am currently sitting in my little cubicle being bombarded with people of such intelegence i dont know how they remeber to breath

                    For Example

                    Me: Thankyou for calling 124yes...
                    Caller: Rural Vic, I need a brothel. My chickens are all dead, cow stepped all over them.
                    Me: I do need a business name and a more specific location sir. (holding back the giggles)
                    Caller: *pause* Vag***! ...Do you know what happens in a brothel?

                    I informed him I was transferring him to a supervisor after about 2 minutes of this but he hung up

                      ... *looks at it again* ...
                      So, he needs a brothel because the cow killed the chickens? So, which of those animals was he using to relieve himself prior? The chickens? Or had he been using the cow, and had to make it into hamburger for killing his prize winning chickens?
                      Ow! My head hurts!

                              I know! He is the Chicken Fcuker from the "Chickenlover" episode of South Park. He does not know what to do now that the cows have killed his little, um, "partners".
