"In England and Wales the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes are legal tender for payment of any amount. However, they are not legal tender in Scotland and Northern Ireland."

So if i go on holiday to Scotland they are not obliged to accept my smelly English money then !!

Damn right!

Everytime I go to Scotland they accept them, nomally the other way round is the problem.

Thats because half the retarded kids working in shops around here don't even know where Scotland is, let alone what their banknotes are like

Maybe if Simon idiothead did "The Scotsfactor" then said kids may have an incling....   ....or teachers do a better job

I dont think thats correct.If it says Sterling on the note I believe they are obliged to accept it.I have had the argument using Nortern Irish money in English shops,and won.

Used to love spending Jock pound notes down the pub, the number of times I got change for a fiver was unbelievable.

It is absolutely correct.

Additionally, and shop can refuse to take any tender for any reason.

You may well be correct that they can refuse for whatever reason, but I am sure that English notes are legal tender throughout the UK, and likewise any UK currency is legal tender in England.

Whenever i've been to Scotland they have taken my English money,as someone else said i think in practice the problem is the other way around.
Also there are many shops around ,in London particularly,which will take the Euro,though i think you'll get a pretty rotten exchange rate from them.

No, thats actually incorrect.  As stated elsewhere, most shops will happily take either, as their banks have no issue taking them.

Check the weird definition of Legal Tender, and you'll see that it doesn't quite mean what you think it does

I've been to Scotland, England and Wales a couple of years ago in one go, when my dad went to pick up a new mig anyway we had no problem spending the same type of notes (can't remember which, most likely Scotish) between any of them :-?
