Well it has been quite manic catching back up on things and it has been a while since I posted so I shall bring you all back up to date.

I arrived back into Gatwick airport on Wednesday evening after a great week in Glascow and to be honest was way too tired to think about attempting to spend any of the Scottish money that evening.

Wednesday saw me go into 2 local shops with a £10-00 note and a £20-00 to have both of them accepted without any question whatsoever. A pharmacy where I brought a few bits totalling around £13-00 and straight away with friendly smiles I was made to feel welcome (as i always am) and got change in English Sterling. Then a few doors up in a well known newsagents chain I used the £10-00 to purchase about £5-00 of goods again with no queston and a good shopping experience.

Today I went into one of the best known gambling shops there is in the country to have the £100-00 note turned down categorically. I had to go to the cashpoint and get English Sterling. So far 2 that accept it and 1 that does not although I would hazard a guess that if I had used the £100-00 in the other 2 place it may very well have been turned down.

Tommorow I shall be visiting one of the top supermarkets in the country and also a top clothing retailers with news to follow.

The saga continues.
