Scottish and Northern Irish Bank notes
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 10:46 pm
I am seeing far more Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes than in previous years. I am trying to decide whether more people are holidaying in North Wales or is it that those who are visiting have been to their local cash machines and taken all the spending money out before they leave home, thus they are spending their own notes throughout their holidays and not just at the start.
I have been very amused by one of the Northern Irish Banks, I had 2 £20 notes on my desk that looked almost identical on the front. The only difference was the date of the signature. On the earlier one, the back showed the Victorian buildings of the University. The newer one was obviously printed at the time when they had had enough of education, and wanted to show something they were proud of - it was Old Bush Mills Distillery!
For any newcomers - I run the cash office on the Ffestiniog Railway so see a lot of money at this time of year!
