What`s the situation with scottish notes these days? Are they widely accepted or should i stock up with bank of england ones?

I find some people accept them blindly whilst others aren't sure, so speak to their manager who sometimes aren't sure etc. For ease and speed of service I'd say it's best to stock up on English ones.

I'm gobsmacked, I thought all of the UK had the same currency.
Exchange rate is shit hot right now for the euros so I'm just going to pretend a pound is a euro and things happen to be a bit expensive.

It's the same currency, but the looks of the notes are different so people can be confused if they're not familiar with them. This is Norfolk after all

I'm poor, so will probably just about scrape £100 together. I never take more than £150 to festivals anyway!
