One of the slowest counter services known to mankind, in there for 40 mins only 3 people in front of me. I'd suggest taking a packed lunch!

Wouldn't accept Scottish notes, despite it being Sterling & therefore legal tender. Couldn't be bothered to open the safe to exchange currency, told me I'd have to wait till she'd served everyone else waiting in the queue behind me.

Sadly having to edit my previous review. One newish female member of staff is very rude and unhelpful. Arguing with the customer is never a good look. Such a shame, the previous lady was really helpful.
Previous review : Always great service. Friendly staff, can be busy.
