Maybe post this also on general UK Forum and Misc Forum.
I have around 22 Euros and as i will not be going abroad for a while i want to spend them in uk as i cannot change them, and the 22 is in Coins.
I hear big stores in the UK like M & S and Seldfridges and WM Smith will accept them - but do i need to go to a big city like Manchester (ie - would they take them at other stores like Blackburn) and will they accept the coins.
I am sick of seeing the coins every time i am tidying my drawers.
Has anybody had any experience of spending Euro coins in uk?
Regards,
Lee
(Ps - every year i always managed to come back with money)
Surely you know someone who is travelling to Euroland and can do a deal with them?
Many big stores and even telephone boxes in London and the South East accept Euros, but you will get a very poor exchange rate. I don't know about places further north.
City Centre Manchester is full of good shops The best place to eat is the YANG SING, its the best food in town.
If you are a sports fan ; Manchester United play at Old Trafford . It's hard to get a ticket. Cricket is also played at Old Trafford , but not the same ground
If you are a soap fan then a trip down the STREET?
Go on the Granada Studios tour. Good Way to spend a wet day (and yes we get A LOT of RAIN) I still live here so I must like it
"Are you all right?" or...it's more like "RY'all right?" or "All right?"
You'll hear that a lot. People aren't asking you if you are all right, concerned for your health and well being. They're greeting you, as in, Is everything good? How are you today? Of course you can answer that you're just fine thanks, but more often you'll hear people reply "Yeah, cheers, mate!" That's another phrase you'll hear a lot. "Cheers" isn't necessarily a toast before you down your pint, it's more commonly used to say "Thanks" so you can say it when you get off the bus, or pay for your taxi. "Thank you" will never go out of style though and a smile and a little politeness can get you a long way.
Old Trafford- Home Of Manchester United FC
Wow! What a structure, what a place! Manchester United are aguably the biggest football club in the world, and their impressive stadium certainly supports this claim. Holding almost 70,000 seats, it is one of the biggest and atmospheric stadiums in Europe, and I can assure you it is worth checking out, even if you are not able to get to a game. The museum and tour are VERY interesting, and there is a HUGE superstore just outside the stadium.
Now a small haven of green amongst inner-city housing, Angel Meadow park was once the site of St.Michael's Church (built 1788, demolished 1935) - adjacent to the church was an area of land used as a 'parochial burial ground' for those who couldn't afford a proper funeral - first used in 1786 it became known as the 'plague burial ground' and was estimated to be the final resting place of some 40,000 souls. The burial ground closed in 1816 and the area fell into disrepair and became infamous for cock-fighting, bare-knuckle fighting etc - subsequently covered with flagstones it became known as St.Michael's Flags.
A children's playground was built here in the mid 1800's and it later featured in some of the paintings by local artist L. S. Lowry. In recent years the area again became very neglected and the flags mysteriously disappeared not long ago. However, thanks to the efforts of the local residents association, the area has now been transformed into this pleasant park, complete with information boards providing maps and photographs of how it used to look.
The streets in the immediate vicinity of this plot were known as Angel Meadow and were once Manchester's most notorious squalid slums - Friedrich Engels, who studied in the area, drew on this experience for his 1844 work 'The Condition of the Working Class in England'.
Of further interest is the Charter Street Ragged School and Working Girls Home which overlooks the park - a rare surviving example of this type of institution. Ragged schools were introduced in the mid-1800's to provide free schooling for poor children - built in 1866, a Working Girls Home was later added for servants who would otherwise have to use lodging houses.
Directions: From the centre of Manchester go along Corporation Street and continue to the end where the CIS building is on your right - turn right onto Miller Street and then first left onto Dantzic Street - continue for a short distance until it meets Aspin Lane - Angel Meadow park is on your right with an entrance on Angel Street.
