It's almost always to do with the fact that for the recipient, an unusual note is more likely to be a possible fake and it's more difficult to then offload the note onto someone else too, rather than any anti Scottish discrimination. I've had an Ulster bank note refused here before. It is ultimately up to the vendor. Is it f**k up to the vendor that's legal tender I'll have you know -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 If only the Jocks could monetise their grievances then the fact of them systematically dismantling tourism due to their rampant Anglophobia would be barely noticed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Oh dear, the drunkard playing to the gallery again? It must be awful to feel so insecure in yourself that you have to make things up to grandstand on an anonymous football forum, just to feel liked by “fellow bears”.What a sad, drunken old c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the underlying dastardly plan that they've exposed? Y'know like how they said Sturgeon was a dead duck in December, January, March, May because this or that would bring down the government? What's the tourism wheeze that'll definitely definitely do it this time? Anecdotal stories of English people not booking holidays post covid due to anglophobia. Would be intriguing if there was tangible evidence of such drops but I see a lot of people speaking about this on Twitter and it's always just a friend of the family or something equally tenuous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Aye, it's all nonsense imo. The bastirt English simply cannot get enough of our midges and torrential rain and still queue up in droves to spend a week up here despite the ongoing English pogroms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2nd cousin has a "Glamping" business that's fully booked all summer mostly with Geordies so even the anecdotal evidence is conflicting "Anglophobia" would also prevent Scottish tourists from crossing the border in the other direction Partaking in the delights of bird watching on the Montrose basin as opposed to Lindisfarne, pottering around the old town of Stirling as opposed to medieval Alnwick and getting shitfaced then starting a fight and/or catching an STD in Glasgow as opposed to Newcastle Edited May 28, 2021 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like minority conservatives explaining that interactions we all know are openly prejudicial are in fact good. It's kind of adjacent to those DUP folk being like the most passionately British-identifying people in the UK even though the English are in the main totally nonplussed by these strange Irish people, if they ever think about them at all as being anything like them. If you're that invested then it'd be an absolute year-zero moment, philosophically speaking, if you were to accept that there might be a flintier edge to these comments. Gurkha love ins are a weird quirk of British nationalism and all, can mind a fleg waving campaign from Joanna Lumley years back. Afaik theyve been shat on a fair few times in legal battles over the years in spite of this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'm going to encourage all small businesses in the Highlands to stop accepting Bank of England notes. They should be treated with the same contempt as the nonsense cash you sometimes get in your change from joke places like Guernsey and Northern Ireland. The resistance starts here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
