Billy Yes, from my holidays in Scotland I know that receiving non Scottish or English notes is scarce. And for foreigners even receiving Scottish notes is more difficult than receiving English notes (do you really get rid of English notes so eagerly). From what circulates where on the Britsh Isles, my experience is: England/Wales: only English notes Scotland: Scottish and English notes Northern Ireland: Northern Irish, Scottish, English notes and notes from the Isle of Man Isle of Man: English and Scottish notes and those from the Isle of Man Channel Islands: Jersey, Guernsey and English notes and sometimes Scottish. What I always wonder about, in Scotland the notes of the Clydesdale bank are much scarcer than those of the other two banks. In Northern Ireland I found no difference in the distribution amongst the three banks. (In most places the three banks were sitting happily next to each other in the main street.) -- dik t. winter, cwi, science park 123, 1098 xg amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |
