Bristol pound or British pound the locals are just trying to avoid having to pay for a round " Oh sorry I only have Taunton Pounds and Cardiff pounds on me " It would be simpler if that region just went bank to bartering " Oyl give you foive mangel worzels fer your daughter Farmer Scrumpy" ......" Its a deal and oye will toss in a sheep for your Welsh counsin to wed oooh arr "

Good idea. Saves a lot of the money leaving the economy from making its merry way to being spent in Eastern European countries.
