Why is the Euro not accepted in every ...

UK Store?, after we come back from the Canaries in December , we had some Euros left, but upon going into a new agent for smokes and a paper, I thought I would just get rid of some of these Euros, but the Asian lady just said we not take Euro , when I asked why she just said the same again!...

Is it only large retail shops who accept Euros in the UK?, perhaps it's just more bother that it's worth for them to swap them when banking ?...or is it because of the lousy Euro rates?..

What I had left was not really worth swapping over at the banks and this is why I decided to spend them, was only €30 I had left.

I've had them taken before in Next after returning from our first Canary holiday ,it seems a bit complicated here with Euros, some accept some do not!


...I do find it to be somewhat torture on the testes, has anyone else had this?

Your chucking your money away chief, you could have purchased a good motorbike from those contributions or took the kids on another holiday or bought them prezzies, your in for a real disappointment after life Favva, you will either go into the ground or be cremated like everyone else.

I would differ in opinion if I could see this God chap, but you just have to ' believe' right?...

Why do you have to see something to believe it JD?

he blesses us all, just many do not realise where the blessings come from..

I always liked that line from the film God Almighty where the guy built an Ark.

God gives you what you need, not what you want.

You agree that belief is essential to believing in God Favva?...

There's your answer...he's all in your mind are kept happy in the false pretence your going somewhere much better in the afterlife...

You may well be a spirit, but there will be no pearly hates waiting to open for you chief...and no God to welcome you with open arms.

we will take the chance thank you and if there is no heaven and we just die well at least we don't lose anything , you on the other hand lose everything because you reject God .
You can never take our faith away and you can never convince us there is no God , you keep posting threads about God and you will never be able to prove he doesn't exist .

You Anger every God of the Pantheon with your blind faith in the God of Greed and Lies. IF there is something and you're not right you might be fucked, anyway Monotheist God will definitely hate HF for all the disrespect he gives him on the Muslim  front.

.....God? Aren't you giving it to the Church? What do they do with it? How do you know it would be how God would like the money spent? I'm confused
