Not here but there's a severe lack of those £27 ones Richie and Eddie were peddling in Bottom.

To be fair the weather is so inclement and bitingly cold there will be very few ladies riding on the back of a horse with no clothes on hence the lack of Lady Godiva's

Actually, I haven't used cash in quite awhile. The only time I actually see any cash, is in the collection basket in church, every Sunday.You mean people still use cash

If you have any old fivers you don't want, I can find a home for them ...
I am only collecting the £20 notes
I have a couple of Scottish one that I can't spend!
Quite a few shops in England accept Scottish notes in my experience. All the banks take them too.
Banks will take them but most shops round hear have noticed up say they won't accept them, they're legal tender but they can't be forced to accept them. We find the further up North we go there are more shops willing to take them.

I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever able to travel again. I had a week-long photography workshop at Glen Coe in mind back in 2020, just before the COVID lockdown, followed by a visit to Tayvallich and Bellanoch to walk in the footsteps of a couple of ancestors who left for New York State in 1805.
I've left my home territory only for surgery and hospital/nursing home stays since returning from West Yorkshire in November of 2019. Now I'm having physical therapy to try to get full use of my legs back following a bout of sepsis.
Enough moaning!

So what happens if someone from across the pond, is in the middle of traveling to the UK and falls ill? Does National Health say "oops, you're out of luck" or is there some way to get treatment at a reasonable cost?I really hope you make it back to the UK! you seem a real Anglophile
