to exchange for scottish pounds

Aww crap, i'd forgotton about the monopoly money you lot have up there, spending ages trying to get rid of 18 scottish £1 notes at the coach station before returning home - ahh those were the days...........

£1 notes are rarely seen now, I used to love them - buying drinks in dark clubs in Liverpool got change for a fiver a lot of the time Cheesy

A scottish £20 is truly only worth about £18.50 GBP

I remember when I had my first job, and was piss-poor, going into a shop round the corner from Digbeth coach station to buy 10 fags (which cost about 70p at the time), handing over a scottish pound note, and getting £4.30 in change. I couldnt get out the shop fast enough....

If that, the amount of time wasted at the checkout in tesco's trying to convince the 16 year old YTS kid on the till that it is legal tender that could have been spent playing poker amount to a loss of more than £1.50!! Cheesy

Though saying that its still easier than trying to pass some of those laminated notes from northern ireland!!

As they are not strictly legal tender, the YTS kid has a point.

Not that that stops me saying "Well go put the stuff back on the shelves/try taking the petrol back out of the tank/take the pint back" (I make sure I drink most of it during the debate).

Money conversion is the least of your problems!

Please, please remember to set your watches when you cross the border, the number of folk that are going to be late for BBII because of the time difference could be a problem.

We are GMT+30mins
