You can make pizzas for 10s of pence.
You can make alcohol from food waste or even paper.
From previous comments I'd not expect you to buy them from the coop :)

Go round the corner to a bank and swap them then. Simples.

I've never had a problem with scottish notes in London. But then I
wouldn't arrive with a wallet full.

No doubt Jim does and tries every shop until he finds one that refuses
them. Seems to be his way of life.

But coins seem to be 'British'. Or are there special Scottish
£1 pound and £2 coins ?.

This only applies to notes. NI banks also have their own notes

A long time ago a NatWest machine gave me £100 in £1 notes.

Even longer ago, a NatWest machine regularly gave me ten £1 notes in a
paper packet. And they posted the card back to me for re-use.

If that's the same as I remember my dad using, the card had punched
holes instead of a magnetic stripe.

That's correct. Three or four large holes, and a set of small ones
identical to a short length of paper tape (8 data bits, and even the
sprocket holes).

Saw something giving the price of a pint of 'beer' in pubs close to

think West End prices must be the same everywhere in London. ;-)

had over £400 in reward points to use up, after MIL's funeral.

That's because most people have never seen one and cannot tell if a
forgery or not.


More probably because a few years back there was a spate of forged
Scottish £20 notes being passed in England precisely because most people
there didn't know what a real one looked like.


I was in Bradford some years ago (visiting the National Science and Media Museum, so I had a legitimate reason for being in the rancid ********) and had a Scottish fiver refused in a branch of WH Smith. First **** held it up and said to second **** "do we take these?". Second **** barely glanced at it and said "no we don't".

Spent it at a nearby motorway services (ironically in a WH Smith outlet) and the assistant never gave it a second glance.

Moral of the story is stay out of Bradford, it's a ********. Where else would you see a child on a street playing with a laser pointer by flashing it at passing motorists?

We have two co-ops within walking distance from the uni, basically one at each end of the campus.





I usually get a meal deal and a cake for under a fiver.

There are at least 3 in Worthing

ATM. If it's the smaller Coop then if it's anything like Barnsley then
they change names that often you are never sure what it will be the next
time you call in that local shop.

For some reason Costcutter, Budgens, McColls and the smaller Coops seem
to rotate premises on a regular basis.

The Coop in Blythe I passed today is now a McColls.

Our local Budgen's is a franchise, rather than a fully owned shop. If
the others you list also do franchises, that might account for the name
changes.
