Default possible banning of scottish notes

yep thats right government are deciding whether to ban scottish notes
as well as irish so does that mean we'll have to use notes issued by the bank of england? in my opinion i'ts not right will there be an issue of british notes ? the bank of britain ? the bank of uk ? as we are all from the uk


opinions please thanks

You mean like "scottish gas" and us english get "british gas".

You jocks look at it from a 1 sided point of view imo you should have your indipendence back and see how well you all get on then

I really wouldn't worry mate, it's only a matter of time before we are ALL using Euro's

But for the record, no I see no reason why the should ban it.

why they are thinking of banning i don't know
as stated above {scottish notes not accepted in england in the UK}
just maybe plays a part in it. you do'nt hear of english notes been rejected in scotland now do ya i'ts not one sided either
i'ts our currency just like yours but not accepted
WHATS THE PROBLEM

All English money ends up paying for Scotland.
Now we can't even take any back

One of our pubs has a sign up saying no Scottish notes, wouldn't have thought that legal, not at the moment.

So they could possibly be £5000 out of pocket instead of a tenner?

The reason that people are funny about scot notes is only because they are easier to fake and that there are load of fakes about. Or they have that stigma attached to them.

Its not rocket science is it, its just the scots have this massive chip on there shoulders about us english descriminating against them when in reality us english couldnt give a fuck.

I once heard a conversation in broughty ferry about how the scots invented the first push bike and the english laughted at the idea then when the english realsied it was a good idea stole it, they were getting right worked up about it how fucking pathetic. Or shall i start commenting on how whenever england are playing at sports the whole nation seems to come out wearing the other sides shirts and booing the fuck out of england.

What we need is a proper boarder and to give you your indipendence back seems as though officially over half of you sweaty want it.

GROW THE FUCK UP and realise we are 1 nation when it counts ie iraq afghnistan etc and our troops are dieing alongside each other

topic is about money not troops at war

therefore we have the english to thank for this
thats my point

I didn't realise they actually had bank notes in Scotland! I thought they traded in beans and cows

But seriously, do you *really* care that they're 'English', and not 'British'?
They are made by the Bank of England, hence the name.

When i worked in France, we used to get a couple that came over from Glasgow once a week and always paid there bill with £100 notes

None of those went into the safe however as all the staff used to change them up as did i

Great fun when you go and buy a beer and watch the Barmaids face when she takes a double take at the Value on the note

£100 note, about the same size as a nifty
