You're welcome.

Just heard that Churchill joined the fiver club. Lincoln share's that spot here. Who else has a prominent spot on the five notes where you guys live?

Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are unusual, firstly because they are issued by retail banks, not central banks, and secondly, as they are not legal tender anywhere in the UK – not even in Scotland or Northern Ireland

Never heard about the 2nd one. I know some places in Englandshire can be a bit funny about Bank of Scotland money but that can be cured withthe line "I think you'll find that is in fact legal tender." The only time you'll ever hear that line.

Any seller has the right to refuse to sell to you without reason, the only time they can't is when services have already been given, like if you've eaten in a restaurant, they can't refuse scottish notes.

One year at silverstone the campsite guy said 'we don't take euros' when he saw the scottish notes.

[andrew]

What an insult! Euros are for countries without any famous people.

Figures Disney would steal that character too like he stole the little mermaid.

not true, if you present legal tender and a shop refuses it, you legally have the right to just take the product as you offered payment of what they where asking with legal money. Also not true that Scottish and Northern Ireland dosh is not legal tender, it's just pounds with some fancy colours on.

Wasn't sure about the legal tender thing but there's no way you can walk out a shop with something if they refuse to take the payment offered, it's their property and it's their right whether they sell it to you or not with or without reason.

[Jabberwocky]

A shop can refuse to sell you something. I had a similar thing where someone had miss labled something a 0.79p where as what they meant was 79p or £0.79

Sorry Lemon, but that's not right. As pointed out, you can be refused your custom without reason.

Currently most petrol stations refuse cheques. Try filling your tank up with fuel, and driving away when they refuse to take the cheque. Or try taking a £1000 tv from john lewis when they refuse to take payment in 1p coins.....
