Ah, so now we have it; Joe goes travelling with pocketfuls of Punts.

What was Joe doing in Enniskillen at the weekend? And why do they take punts twelve years on?

I'd be very careful about anyone giving me Northern Bank notes in my change.:eek:

My Grandparents used to send us Scottish sterling in the post for birthdays. The Scottish sterling had to be sent to the Central bank before we could get it changed into to the Irish Punt .. it used to take a week to be able to convert it.

It happened to me in a pub in London once. I gave the barmaid a Scottish tenner. She treated it like Monopoly money.

Dan Jaman

Aye; Scottish egalitarianism is grand. You might be poor and starving, but you're as entitled to die from it every bit as much as the rich sod next door.

No, but there will be an NPPR type tax to be paid?

Fair play to them if they do.
