Aye, well that's a wee bit of a sore point actually. I have had English store keepers refuse to accept a "Jockie Note". You can exchange them at the banks in England for good English Pounds, but it's no fair ye ken.

Also there are certain banks in OZ that refuse to take the Scottish notes, or try to discount your exchange rate (pay you less that the worth in ponds sterling). There was a big upcry about that about a year ago, and the bank lost the court case (and so they should have).
