ooooh :D

its not done any more but even small companies could issue "tokens" which had the equivalent of the face value spendable in close shops and ofcourse provident "cheques" were the staple of many a family when i was a kid and shops had signs saying they excepted them

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

......and there's the difference; English notes are not issued by various tinpot organisations, but by the governments agents - the Bank of England.

 

 

 

LOL, A tinpot organisation !!! dont think so...have a read at this...

 

"The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc (LSE: RBS, OTCBB: RBSPF) is a banking and insurance holding company in the United Kingdom based in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1] It includes The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc[2] founded in 1727 by a Royal Charter of King George I, National Westminster Bank Plc in England and Wales and Ulster Bank Limited in Ireland.[3]

 

The RBS Group is the largest banking group in Scotland, the second largest in the UK and Europe, and the fifth largest in the world by market capitalisation. It is the 14th largest company in the world according to Forbes Global 2000 rankings. Its shares have a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange. The registered head office of the group and the clearing bank is located at St Andrew Square. In 2005, Queen Elizabeth II opened the bank's new head office building in Gogarburn, Edinburgh.

 

The RBS Group operates a wide variety of banking brands offering personal and business banking, private banking, insurance and corporate finance throughout its operations located in Europe, North America and Asia. In the UK and Republic of Ireland the main subsidiary companies are: The Royal Bank of Scotland; National Westminster Bank; Ulster Bank; and Coutts & Co. In the United States it owns Citizens Financial Group, the 8th largest bank in the country. Insurance companies include Churchill Insurance, Direct Line, Privilege, and NIG.

 

The Royal Bank of Scotland subsidiary continues to issue banknotes in Scotland; and is the only bank in the UK that continues to print a £1 note."

 

It was actually started to assist, and dig the ENGLISH government out a hole, when the Jacobite uprisings were happening....that was when 5000 Scotsmen took over England !! LOL.... :D :D

 

And , the Bank of Engerland is only really any good at helping those TINPOT English banks out the mire, from what I see on the news anyway !!!!

What was it called again...oh aye..Northern cRock!!!! :P :P LOL, A bank with a CASH FLOW problem....never heard the like in my life !!

nice one norrie, that'll put the jingoists gas at a peep...lol

 

i had my first forged £2.00 coin in the shop the other week, and pretty crappy it looked as well, the gold paint was flaking off, i gave it to alan and he used it on the bus....lol

 

in weymouth a few years ago i got the boys an ice cream from a vendor near the pier, the usual rip off prices of course, handed over a scottish £20 and he refused it, i raked in my wallet but as i had just arrived all i had was scottish notes, i ended up with 2 free ice creams.

 

what an ignorant git......

 

where my shop is we get a lot of N.ireland students and when they come back after xmas hols and the like they give us notes from 3 different irish banks, i take them no problem, some are even made of plastic not paper, they all go to the bank.....

 

mind you, getting english notes to take abroad is a problem for us up here unless you order them from the bank in advance.

 

a couple of years ago i used an bureau de change at gatwick to change scottish notes to english and they charged me commission :angry:

 

in america i got a lower exchange rate for scottish against english notes :angry:

 

as always norrie, we're being discriminated against for being the superior race :P:lol:

Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

Actually here in Newcastle we get a lot of Scottish pound notes. But there is a growing tendency for shops and pubs to refuse them and to be honest if I am offered one in my change now I also will refuse it simply because I may be stuck with it.

 

The two one pound coins by the way are Scottish and Welsh and as such perfectly legal tender. So the bus driver was wrong in refusing them.
