Scottish Notes

[Rosstitute]

With this being my first trip to Glasto, was just interested to know if Scottish Bank notes are accepted by stalls, bars etc?

Having had issues whilst on business trips to London with Scottish notes (legal tender btw! ), I was just wanting to give myself notice to get English ones instead.

Any advice much appreciated!

I'd assume not. You're right, they're legal tender, but the further south you go the less likely anyone is to accept them. Get your cash changed (or take it out from a cashpoint somewhere past Nottingham) before you get on site, and save yourself the worry.

aye, i always change to english notes. some guy wouldn't take my scottish fiver for his 2 pound 500ml bottle of water!

I had an arguement in WH Smith in Heathrow as they wouldnt take my scottish £5 note, I dont see what the problem is, perhaps just "a London" thing but dont want to take the risk

So anyone refusing your notes when you pay for something is merely ignorant of the legal ways a UK citizen can settle private debt.

[jonbob]

More likely, they don't know how to tell a real Scottish banknote from a fake.

The legal tender comment was more of a nod to the Michael MacIntyre sketch than anything.

I actually remembered a question about them not being legal tender from a pub quiz

Now that Ive heard various comments, Ill be trying to get a hold of English ones prior to heading down.

It ain't rocket science. Watermark and metallic thread.

And there are FAR more fake BoE notes than Scottish.

[Rosstitute]

I just wonder why there is so much scepticism around Scottish notes? Is it purely ignorance or a conspiracy....

[jonbob]

I take it you don't own a stall or a bar at Glastonbury and if you did I bet you would be looking for counterfeits.

You thinks it bad with scottish notes, try go into a greggs in london and ask for a macaroni pie!

The listless look you get on cake fingers faces is priceless!

[Rosstitute]

"gies a macaroni pie luv"...

whats not to understand???

[jonbob]

A decent forgery would have a watermark and a thread.

[ukslim]

I totally agree about your familiarity point, but this is so easily changed with education.
