It must have been the late 90's when we drove more or less up to the front door of Stormont.
I was sh!tting myself wondering how far we would get and what would happen (we were in a hire car, with NI plates) if we got so far.
It was mad.
Especially in a place like Belfast.
Anyway, getting back on topic
Forgot to mention a tale from earlier this week on the x1.
A lass got on with a Scottish tenner.
The driver wasn't happy and stated that as it wasn't out of a cash machine and not legal tender and he wasn't going to accept it.
The lass was a tad taken aback and embarrassed by this point, pointing out it was legal tender - convincing the driver he should take it, which he reluctantly did.
The old age pensioner, standing behind the lass offered to swap it for English money - which of course was no problem to the driver.
He wasn't willing to accept it, on the basis it wasn't legal tender - but was more than happy to swap with the the oap.
What exactly does Legal Tender mean, the only time I have ever heard the words Legal Tender is when a Scottish or Northern Irish Banknote is produced, as if the phrase was invented specifically for the moment you produce Scottish/N.I. Notes, the driver not happy to take it off a passenger, but very happy to swap it with an old dear hahaha, I spent a N.I 10er in Newcastle Airport once and the cashier looked at me like he had just caught me shagging his Mrs up the chuff
