Thought of the day

[gmarkj]

As part of the #o2surprise that I received last week, there was a jar of smiles. Many were keen to see what would come out of the jar each day, so here are the ones so far!

The one that I picked out on Friday was "If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain".

This morning I picked out "Relax and reflect. A bad day doesn't mean it's a bad life".

Banks, yes, true @Cleoriff.

On the topic of money, in the days when they had pound notes (green, as I am sure many remember!), this rang, and still rings, true:

PS the Northern Irish Danske Bank (Go figure!) tenner is green, as is the Bank of Ireland £20 note - so still applies here!

Yes, NI banks, like Scottish ones, can print their own Sterling notes.

One used to be able to have a night out on a ten shilling note. 👍

Places such as Jersey (CI) also have their own Sterling notes.

And coins too - but Isle of Man, Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey), and Gibraltar coins and notes are not legal tender in Great Britain or Northern Ireland - the Scottish and Northern Irish notes are legal tender in Wales and England, although many shops as you travel further from the border between Scotland and England, or the ports where ferries from Northern Ireland dock, choose not to accept these colourful Sterling banknotes.

Strange things, eh?
