Crazy mental world
The reason they don't like any notes that are not from English banks, is because most of the shops employ people who would not be able to identify a counterfeit.
There are so many different notes from different banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland ( and before we went euro Ireland too) that they would have to have a big manual explaining how they look and how to spot a forgery, which would have to be updated on a regular basis.
I know there's a lot of people here against the Euro, but once you get used to it, its not that bad, at the end of the day you spend it - and most of us use plastic laser cards, not cash.
and realistically we don't have hold of the damn stuff very long now, do we, be honest
The euro would solve a lot of problems if we were all using it - and you can still have scottish, irish, welsh and english euro - coins and notes.
If everything was changed for ease of use, and pride, prejudice and stubbornness were put aside, I am sure things would be more acceptable and there would be less problems in the world - look at religion
On second thoughts - don't
- please don't -
honest -
slip of the tongue -
don't want to cause a war
