Decades ago I was in Jessops in Shandwick Place in Edinburgh buying a camera and I think a lens. It was the days of cheques and bank cards and the assistant asked for some ID. I showed him my RAF ID card and he wouldn't accept that as ID. So I said keep your stuff I'll go along to Currys and buy the same stuff there. His attitude quickly changed with the prospect of losing a decent sale.
