And four in Northern Ireland. Always fun trying to pay with a Danske Bank note outside NI.

I think one of them stopped printing notes recently though.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
