It's Bank of England note though, I undertstand what you are saying that it is legal tender in Britain but the Bank of England and the Scottish banks produce seperate notes

And it's damn near impossible to get an English shopkeep to accept anything that doesn't have England emblazoned across it.
 
It doesnt make me wonder why Winston Churchill - supposedly the greatest Englishman - is not on any of our bank notes.

I dont care whos on the bank note tbh, scot, welsh, english, NI. It shows that we are proud of our multi-national country and its inhabitants....most of them anyway.

EDIT: just thought about this....its a bank of england note.....why did they put a scot on there :confused:

I guess some sort of identification.

Thats really not true up north (cumbria/north east). I have never had a problem paying with scottish notes.

How would you know? when did a Scotsman last try to part with any money ? :D ;)

/boring stereotyping off

I think there are 2 reasons that English shopkeepers don't accept Scottish money, the first is that they are unfamiliar with the notes and so don't feel confident in spotting fakes and secondly that, due to some peoples ignorance re their legality, they have trouble handing them back out in change

Why, he was a very important figure and helped shaped the whole of the United Kingdom to what it is today. He was certainly more important than Adam Smith.

There are lots of historical figures who shaped the country but are still unsuitable candidates for bank notes, and you know fine and well why.
 
The bank of England was formed by a Scotsman William Patterson so why cant there be a Scotsman on the front of it? Does this mean we should abolish the BoE and set it up again by someone of only English descent that can be proved back to year dot?

How is it xenophobic? It is bizarre to have a foreign national on a banknote. I bet no other country does it.

LOL, who the hell cares whose picture is on the damn money? The Queens head is on every coin in the country. Got xenophobia?

May as well put a nice portrait of Mickey Mouse on the back then... I'm sure he has done more for the global economy.
