Notes -
I had a shopkeeper in London try to decline a purchase because I paid with a "Scottish" £10 note. Motherfucker, I pointed out that unless the SNP had really switched up their game while I was on vacation, it's still the same country. I had to recruit a few other people in the queue to get him to budge, though I suspect that their support was less to do with patriotism for Great Britain than a desire to get me out of the way so they could make their purchases and catch their train.
Up till this point, I had thought that people being daft about Scottish bank notes was more of a meme, but alas. There's always a bigger fool.
The only time I've ever had Scottish money declined was on holiday in Cornwall. I had to walk down the road to a cash machine to get Bank of England notes before we could pay, since their cash machines were down.
My wife's family are all unionists, but I've never seen her so full of Braveheartian fury. Apparently all it took for her to pull out the blue facepaint was getting turned away for using bank notes with otters on them.
