    Hey, anyone know whether or not it's possible to use Scottish sterling in Belfast and the North in general?

    Generally they will accept it, though will look it over a few times due to the number of different versions/issuing banks. Neither Scottish nor Norn Iron notes are legal tender, they are promissory notes so if someone really doesn't want to take it, you can't make them. Try finding a plastic fiver in the North and passing it somewhere else...

    Are you talking ****e or are you actually right? I've been in England and got looked at handing over Ulster Bank notes but they are generally taken. If some gimp doesn't understand in my experience a call for the manager will sort it out.

    Balls to them!!

    I recently moved up to belfast from the south, and I must say that the Northern Irish fiver is the worst looking piece of currency ive ever seen. I honestly thought id been given an obvious fake. Even after a few people had confirmed it was real, I still felt uneasy paying for some shopping with it :o
