I never realized what fukking gangsters the banks were until this morning. I had 300 pounds sterling (northern Ireland sterling) and I went into the bank this morning to do a straight swap for english sterling. The fukkers wanted to charge me 20 euro for the privalage

UK bank or ROI bank?
Not sure how widely accepted NI Sterling is on the mainland these days. I have spent small amounts in large supermarkets and bars over the years but you never know if they're going to take it or not and, sometimes, it comes down to saying it's all you have. Never had a problem the other way round i.e. English Sterling seems to be generally accepted in NI.

i was aware that not everyone on mainland take northern ireland sterling, and for that reason i wanted to change it for English sterling. what angered me was , the fukkers wanted to charge me 20 euro for changing NI sterling for English sterling

You mean you wanted the bank to do something for you for nothing???? rofl rofl rofl
I wouldn’t have bothered and just spent it over in Engerland

What is classed as legal tender varies throughout the UK. In England and Wales, legal tender is Royal Mint coins and Bank of England notes. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, only Royal Mint coins are legal tender. Throughout the UK, there are some restrictions when using the lower value coins as legal tender. For example, 1p and 2p coins only count as legal tender for any amount up to 20p.
Hence, strange as it may seem, Scottish and Northern Irish issued banknotes are not legal tender anywhere, not even in Scotland or NI. They are classed as legal currency and, by that definition, "may" be accepted anywhere in the UK.

reminds me of one of the most irritating things cunts say to me...
..."do you take money?"
-
Well just go up the north with your NORN IRON sterling and spend it. And get yourself some BOE sterling from the bank, ya unpatriotic whingey fuck
-
Where do you think I got the fukking thing from in the first place ?
-
Have you changed the money yet and, if so, where and what did it cost?
The €20 the first shower wanted seems fucking crazy. I could understand a small fee, maybe a euro or two.

-
All's well that ends well, I guess. Sure they're one of the banks authorised to issue promissory notes in NI anyway.
