Thanks for posting - the video's a neat summation of a confused situation!

Reminds me of a situation in my local co-op (in 'England') when a would be shopper became irate when the cashier refused his Scottish bank note. I supported the cashier (I'm a regular), pointing out that whilst many shops do accept Scottish notes it was not legal tender in England....or Scotland. The customer stormed out in a huff.

It's all Rubbish really. Where your right in saying that Scottish bank notes are not legal tender in England or even Scotland and that they are accepted by many shops all over England, the fact is that strictly speaking although accepted all over Scotland, Bank of England notes are not legal tender north of the border either. So in reality Scotland has no legal tender :roll:
What the hell is going to happen if Scotland votes for independence next year I don't know, the blinking euro? :evil:

Cheers

This is worth a read it explains the position http://www.scotbanks.org.uk/legal_position.php

As for what will happen if Scotland becomes independent it will either have to create its own currency and its exchange rate or apply to join the Euro, just one more thing the SDP arent telling you.

I have a Scottish white 5er. Not at all sure how much it's worth though, it wasn't cheap for me to buy. Cost me £5 :?

Thanks for posting.

But to add to the confusion, Cornwall is not England, and the true Cornish an ethnic minority, of which I am one, are entitled to state this on all legal documentation, including the national census.

Take care.
