You may need to change your money to Euros if you go from England to Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why? We've accepted their dodgy notes for years We may have accepted their notes, but many establishments away from the border will not, and who is to say they will accept Sterling. A friend of mine thought the same when he went from Northern Ireland to Eire, and had to return across the border to change his Sterling for some Euros, as the garage he had stopped at would only accept Euros.

Large denomination Scottish notes are taboo in some parts of the North East, as we have regularly had fakes mixed in with our currency. When I get them over the border, I do my utmost to get rid of them at the earliest possibly opportunity before i leave or on my return home.

I've never had one refused here in Sunderland Dave - I have had them queried though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several bars at the coast a few years ago, wouldn't touch them as someone was dumping them in Whitley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Father in law used to work in Scotland and got paid on a fri after the banks had closed. The only place in Swindon that would change them was M&S and only because one of the supervisors there was Scottish. Most people had never seen Sottish money and would not accept or change it.

Most big-chain supermarkets' self-service check-out machines accept genuine Scottish notes regardless of whether you're shopping in Scotland or much further south !! It's because these check-out machines in their Scottish branches have to be able to accept both Scottish and Bank of England notes ... and, although they don't advertise the fact, the supermarkets (or their technology-providers) have clearly worked out its more cost-effective to use the same technology in all their machines nationwide rather than develop a second set of note-receivers for England & Wales that would reject the Scottish notes. Tsunami should have no problem bunging Scottish fivers & tenners from his trips to Glasgow & Edinburgh into any check-out machines near Newcastle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just listening to tms and it seems Aussie cricketers are having Visa problems to play English county cricket. Rule change in visa applications were mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
