Chris Wilson Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I am going to Belfast either Friday or Saturday. Do I need to take Euros or are they happy with English pounds? Buying a puppy, so will clear the purchase costs with the vendor, but for a hotel, bars, loose women??? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 It's GBP in N.Ireland isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I spend a lot of time over there as my gf is Northern Irish. As Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, they are still sterling. Only the Republic of Ireland is using the euro. Your english notes will be accepted over there (no problem) their notes are different, but exactly the same currency - just don't try to spend them over here, shops don't normally accept them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Was going to fly out Saturday AM, my pal now thinks a night on the town sounds good, so thinking of Friday afternoon and a stop over instead. Trouble is, he apparently finds some bar / bint / bordello he likes, then claims "the weathers coming in" so he can stay there for days. A seven week old pup under one arm and some inebriated pilot with wanderlust isn't necessarily my idea of a good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 leave him, flyback for 18 pound , or alternatively find a bar / bint / bordello you like! lol dont know if a puppy counts as Hand luggage though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 dont know if a puppy counts as Hand luggage though? Turned inside out and with a handle rivetted on, it is hand luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DevilsAdvocate Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Quite some years since I've been to 'Norn Iron' The Crown bar in Belfast (oposite the europa hotel) is worth a visit and the Antrim coast and giants causway very scenic. Enjoy your trip Roy PS Oh and GBP is the local currency PPS Do not talk about Polotics, Religion or the Toubles. DAMHIK:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think the "troubles" counts as politics AND religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
