RE: FN-FORUM OT Scottish

no we shouldn't, anyway this isn't the place to argue about the €. The € is
going to be the down fall of europe not the UK. It is going to cause so many
problems I haven't got the time to list them all, best just to watch the chaos
unfold.
Besides our own interest rates are about to start rising so fun times ahead!
People won't have time to worry about the €

Scottish notes aren't actually legal tender in England or Scotland--I don't
know about Wales. English notes aren't legal tender in Scotland--only coins
are. See http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/legaltender.htm
According to the Bank of England, "legal tender is not a means of payment
that must be accepted by the parties to a transaction, but is, in fact, a
legally-defined means of payment that should not be refused by a creditor in
satisfaction of a debt".
So Scottish notes, although not legal tender, are legal currency. They
cannot, legally, be refused by, say, a shopkeeper, for the purchase of an
item on the basis of "not being legal tender".
I used to run a saddlery shop and know that you really do have to accept
them as they are commonly accepted as money (not the same as legal tender)
and tourist authorities tell foreign tourists that they can spend Scottish
money in England. There's no problem with them in banks so why didn't you
accept it, we get them all the time? In your change however, you probably
don't have to take them, but why cause a scene?
