...I've never tested this but apparently, if you offer Scottish money (as you say, legal tender) in England, and the retailer refuses to accept it, you are legally allowed to walk out with the goods.

That would make for an afternoon's entertainment, huh? Best to get the legal story confirmed first, though!

Thanks for reading.

Legal tender

Some retailers in England query whether Scottish notes are legal tender (they are). I wonder if outlets in Ohio would even have heard of Colin Montgomerie if he appeared on a US Dollar bill? More likely loose change in Colin's case anyway.

How totally nutty!

Why would an American be on Scottish currency!  Geesh!  Obviously it's the bank's involvement.  Total nuts I say!

Well, as long as you only charge me 5 pounds for it! (haven't got the pound symbol on this computer...)
