I was a big shopper in Homebase, both here inEngland and my home town in Northern Ireland. Today I was very embarrassed to find that my northern Irish sterling was unacceptable in your Huntingdon store. Luckly for me I had a bank card so was able to continue with my purchases. Regrettably I could not buy the Webber barbarque I was interested in as it was my intention to use my £300 Irish sterling. Perhaps you should consider putting a sign up to inform customers that only Bank of England notes are acceptably in your stores. Thus preventing embarrassing customers at checkout. pbmorfitt@gmail.com
