>>BTW years back, when I used to cash my pay-cheque at a bank, I used to ask for my money in Scottish (Royal Bank of Scotland & Strathclyde Bank), Irish (before they chnged to the Punt - then the Euro), Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey notes, just so I'd have a pocket full of exotic, disparate and colourful notes. They were all legal tender in England but you should have seen bar tenders' faces when you handed them over! :-)

Aye, well, like I say, I couldn't use the punt when they changed from Sterling :-)
