They did in June but prefer Euros. Watch it though as some will try it on with the change if they see you're in a hurry.

They do accept GBP but be prepared to get an exchange rate conversion from Euro to GBP at a lower rate by the retailer.
They are in it to make money even on the exchange rates.
if you pay by Card , then always insist on paying in the local currency......this for me is a rule of thumb in most countries when travelling.
Your Bank will always give you better rates than the shop / retailer when converting...…….obviously the Bank will also charge a small cash processing fee.
