    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The answer to whether shops will accept non legal tender is yes. If they want to make the sale and have confidence that the note can be exchanged. For decades after RoI had split from the UK, we had the Punt as our currency, and it was pegged at parity with sterling and both currencies were in...

    Very confused - Looking for an electric bike
