Apart from tie breaks. And no-ad scoring that is often used for doubles.

What is legal tender?



Bank of England notes keep their face value for all time.

If your local bank, building society or Post Office is not willing to accept them, then you can exchange them for new notes at the Bank of England


 1p and 2p coins only count as legal tender for any amount up to 20p.


In addition, shops are not obliged to accept legal tender. If you hand over a Ł50 note to pay for a banana in your local grocery store, the staff are within their rights to choose not to accept it. Likewise for all other banknotes – it’s a matter of discretion.

On the same lines:

http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/about/faqs.aspx

What is the Bank’s “Promise to Pay”?

The words "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five [ten/twenty/fifty] pounds" date from long ago when our notes represented deposits of gold. At that time, a member of the public could exchange one of our banknotes for gold to the same value. For example, a Ł5 note could be exchanged for five gold coins, called sovereigns. But the value of the pound has not been linked to gold for many years, so the meaning of the promise to pay has changed. Exchange into gold is no longer possible and Bank of England notes can only be exchanged for other Bank of England notes of the same face value. Public trust in the pound is now maintained by the operation of monetary policy, the objective of which is price stability."

After the failure of the earlier Sparta invented wrist worn sundial, the first successful military watch is considered to be that of the band of fabric made from old rags, soaked in a now forgotten in antiquity mix of herbs and spices every morning and that would then be tied around the wrist by the soldiers of the army of Alexander the Great on their epic conquest to the East.
 
Due to a chemical reaction between the herbs and spices and body sweat, the fabric strip would change colour with the passage of the hours thus enabling a useful approximation of the current time.

They became known as Alexander's rag timebands.... badumtish
