It seems a bit stupid to me but perhaps someone can explain the reason behind the refusal.
Now I will try the GP, or alternatively I am sure someone around Abbey St area will happily accept them (joke), or do they get a free issue?

Just dump them on the pavement in Peel St, that's the norm round here
