Scottish banknotes

[safcrob]

Does anyone here who mostly pay with cash take Scottish notes from the cashier if you get one or would you ask to change it for an English note?

I've had a Scottish fiver before and there were some shops which wouldn't accept, so if I get given one I ask to change it. Card and cash user.

Do any have a picture of crobert the Bruce on them?

I'm sure they have to take them don't they? It's legal tender, even if they do look like Monopoly money.

They're actually not. They're not even legal tender in Scotland.

Of course legal tender doesn't mean what most think it means.

I asked Apple to allow me to pay on their app using Scottish pounds. Didn't even get a reply

Typical English

Card only here and rarely carry cash.
I’ve not had a Scottish note for years and on the very rare occasion that I do, I’ve not been refused it as tender.

Never had an issue,they're all polymer notes now so look more legit than the old paper ones. If in doubt just hoy them in a self service till

My kid has the same attitude. Runs her phone flat chatting shite on social media and can't pay her bus fare.

I use cards - in the past receiving a jock note on the day you're returning over the frontier, was like receiving an hand grenade with the pin out.

I used cash for the first time in a while yesterday. I like to support a stray dog charity shop by giving old clothes and stuff to it. I usually buy off them as well even if I don't really want what I buy. They don't take cards so I need cash.
I bought off an outdoor market stall yesterday as well that was cash. I also gave some money to some young cadet soldiers for the British legion poppy collection. So I carry a couple of tenners with me but nearly always use card for everything else.
