£50 note withdrawal

It was clearly implied by "The only trouble with Hadrian was that he didn't build his wall high enough".

You're about as convincing as those companies that try to sell us £5 jubilee coins for £5.

About 10 people have suggested Scots note aren't legal. And I'm not one of them.

Well you'd obviously need men to do men's jobs.

Well, as that was built by the Romans...

As I've said before "you can't educate pork", but why do you make it so obvious?

OUR cash system is fine. If the Scots want to print funny money and have different laws why should we worry about it?

It may be a man's job to play with a c*ck in England, but up here I can assure you we use women.

As usual, no explanation. Buzz off troll.

Why should money only be printed in one place? Scotland is the same country as England.

Yes, there is an O in Scotland, you are quite correct.

No, they have correctly informed you that Scots banknotes are not "legal tender". That does not mean they are not "legal", whatever that might mean.

It seems to me that the difference between "you can be arrested" and "you can't be arrested" is more than just pedantic.

If I consume £20 of food at an English restaurant, then produce some groats to pay for it, I would fully expect the police to arrive - for non-payment of the bill.

If I consume £20 of food at an English restaurant, then produce some Scottish banknotes to pay for it, I would fully expect them to accept the money. If they called the police the police would do them for wasting their time.

Because it has a useful function with respect to debts and legal disputes.

The difference between "legal" and "legal tender" is no more pedantic than the difference between "orange" and "orange squash". Or the difference between calling you a "wit" and a "f****it".
