AtW,
just as a slight aside. Why do you consistently choose avatars with creatures so much farther up the evolutionary ladder than you?
Just curious.

Oh goody, I've been accused of bedwetting and cretinism by one of CUK's two biggest board spamming resident trolls. I feel I've finally achieved something on here!!!

And thus the diagnosis has been independently confirmed ... do you concur SAS?

Once. On my way to job interview in Dundee - I was glad to get out from there before the last train to mainland, I took taxi to the train station in order to make it and thought the taxi driver was trying to give me dodgy fake banknotes - it was my first time when I had Scottish fiver, it was refused to be accepted in England

Why?

Why?

Presumably because Scottish notes are not legal tender. Banks here accept them though, so I always hand them over in a bank when I am left with a bunch of them.

There are banks in Gaul? No wonder Julius Caesar was so keen to finish them off.

Is that correct though? I always thought they were legal?
A scottish mate of mine used to always make sure that when he came down to england he had plenty of scottish pound notes. The number of times he was given change of a fiver was unbelievable.

If they are not legal tender wtf are they allowed to be in circulation there? It's either legal tender or in other words genuine banknote, or it is fake.
