Tescos self-serve tills in London accept Scottish money, incidentally.

And I'm sure that self-serve tills will accept English notes in
Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

I wonder if those same tills will accept Northern Irish notes outside of
Northern Ireland, however.

I didn't think there was such a thing as 'English money', it is UK money.

There should just be one set of notes for the whole country. Not have this
absurd situation where in the provinces some banks (not all!) are allowed
to print their own money which may or may not be legal tender in other
parts of the UK. If you think trying to spend a northern ireland note in
england is hard try using one from the isle of man or the channel islands!
If its not legal tender then why is it called sterling?
