Another question: I still have some pound sterling (not Irish punt) banknotes left from my Ireland tour last year.
Will these be accepted in shops/hostels/B&B in England as these notes are from Northern Bank and Bank of Ireland?
I know that it is the same currency but I had problems with a Bank of Scotland note in Northern Ireland.
I hope that I will at least be able to change them at a bank, but I will arrive at Birmingham Airport on a Saturday afternoon...
TIA
