Now a Scottish MP is trying to change the law to have Scottish banknotes accepted throughout the UK and to force businesses to accept them as payment.Scottish banknotes are legal currency in the UK but, contrary to popular belief, they are not legal tender
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Alistair Carmichael has lodged a bill in the House of Commons, saying:"It's beyond time we give legal force to the well-known phrase 'that's legal tender, pal'".Scottish banknotes are legal currency in the UK but, contrary to popular belief, they are not legal tender.
I thought Scotland had the euro now lol
Better get use to that as well checking your pasport at the border, if SNP get thier way..
There’s so much wrong with this. Comes to something when a business is in a position to turn down £9 (!) for two doughnuts. On another note, I wonder how much the staff get paid per hour...
Bank of England sound as a £. Scottish notes issued by commercial banks dependant upon taxpayers bailout.
WTF
Is the English tenner valued the same as Scottish tenner?
Susan Boyle has a lot to answer for.
Big deal this has happened to me in the past with me from scotland If I was refused I went to a other shop and of
? Racism? or a reflection of of the insular and little Englander attitude of people?
happens here in wales too, shops seem to think its not legal tender
That's the norm unfortunately u gotta go the bank to get it changed.
Use sterling ya bint
Quite right too..... Monopoly money.... Not reel poonds!
then scotland should refuse to accept english bank notes
abgwood shock-horror haha. arrivanorthwest are the worst for this!
How ridiculous !
This is obviously mediocre journalism,
good be same on other foot!
I've had before but it is legal tender
Racist London
It's not their fault..they are a product of a woeful education system
Bet they were having a laugh!pity it wasn’t Blackford!
Geta grip every time ive had scottish notes ive been binned off by shops for years! But now its happening to judymurray its headline news... plus theres people with more problems than this so maybe spendmore time on important matters hey 👍
'Can ya hear me muvva?'
Scotland's not a real country anyway.
graemejtaylor can't believe this stills happens
Thats nothing new, many shops have always refused to take Scottish currency for as long as I can remember and I'm now 74, as it's legal tender I've never known why
Hatecrime 👍
So that happened to me and there's no article but that happens to Andy Murrays mum and it's an article get some proper news!
Since when do we not accept Scottish notes? I used to work in a shop and there was no question?!
This must be Skye News?
Wow, slow news day? She must be short on tv appearances since Andy hasn’t been playing tennis nonnews noncelebrity nofuckstogive
This is stupid. Scotland is either part of the UK OR NOT.
Bet it was on elastic
Is that really news you nobs
Can’t be much news around !
It's a bit of a racket.
We won’t have to deal with foreign money after brexit
Que “This is legal tender” 😂😂 If you really want to feck them up, give them Bank of Ulster notes! That will blow their guffy minds!!
Because Scottish notes are so easily faked is the reason most shops in England don't accept them
Its SNP policy.....
Could you pay with a Canadian note. Or an Irish note?
and who gives a shit
I’m assuming she couldn’t buy a bottle of deuce as well
I'm more amazed she uses cash .....
I love going to England with Scottish Bank notes, they take them from me, they can’t handle the embarrassment I will cause , it’s become almost like a red rag to a bull , I love the challenge!
Yawn
Have I missed something? I thought Scotland was part of Britain. Shows how isolationist many people have become.
Unfortunately this happens a lot. I have had this happen to me on several times.
If it’s the same as when I use to go home on leave from Scotland to Devon the bank notes issued by the Clydesdale bank and The Bank of Scotland don’t say on them... I promise to pay the bearer. So across the boarder you could be refused business.👍😎
Well when Scotland leaves and their attitude is anti English we shouldn’t accept any Scottish currency! What do the Scotts think be an independent country and have there cake and eat it to?! I don’t think so... Get used to it!!!!
Made my day that has
I blame Brexit!
Much the same as the StagecoachEScot 747 Airport bus from Edinburgh Airport refusing to take English ones. happensallthetime ridiculous
Good.
Or was he just getting Mrs Murray used to what it will be like when Scotland get independence and they have to use their own currency
No doubt the first words out of her mouth were “you do know it’s legal tender” and the shop assistant replies. I know, but you try get rid of it south of the border
I found a £20 Scottish banknote and had no issue spending it, after I'd checked in my bank first.
Christ is there some kind of journo hotline to this woman? 😱
Why is this news?
How does this make the news? Honestly 😳
Why was she with a Scots opera singer in the first place?
Crazy!!!
And this is news, wow.
Down to her last tenner
Is that news?
And that is news, you are really going the wrong way Sky
Shops.that do this don’t deserve our business!
Make your minds up, one minute scotland wants there own independence. Then they want the UK to make there tender legal in England
There’s nothing to say a shop keeper has to accept it, check the facts before you print it.
I believe it may have been a foreign worker who didn't understand the difference between the notes but this won't stop the Sheeple shouting 'Freedumb from Westmonster' 😀😀
Absolutely nothing else going on in the world You ought to be shot if you think this is journalism
Here's 2 more tenners....
And if it happened to your average Scottish person it would be just as newsworthy? I think not- maybe about their stupidity on buying £4.50 doughnuts though!!!!
Rules are rules
All the big stories as ever 😂
WARNING . WARNING ATTENTION SEEKER , Where’s she from ? SCOTLAND, Urrgh 🥴 File it . BUT. BUT. ITS JUDY MURRAY, OH NO !!!! NOT THEEEEE JUDY MURRAY ? YES Old Lemon tits again ? 🤮 Bin it
And in other news Mary from Stockport was refused a Mars bar after trying use a forged £20 note, she said her boyfriend Mark had produced it earlier in the day and the ink was still wet.
At this point in the week and after reading this and that of an American Airlines steward tipped a drink over the CEO, I’m actually looking forward to today’s Brexit bollocks.
Rewrite....shop does not accept Scottish tenner, rather than taking it out on poor July Murray or a refusal to serve. Stick to the facts
How the hell is that news And who actually gives a f...
Wow
Did she not say ‘Do you know who I am ‘?
They may take our lives but they'll never take our tenners
Bloody idiots until Scotland votes for independence Scottish currency is legal tender and shops like this should be boycotted.
Bad news didnot refuse just refused to accept the tenner skynews headline over dramatise. Promoting race hatred
Oh dear!!
Old news! That happened to my mum in 1978 when she tried to spend a Northern Irish tenner in an English grocery shop. They even got the manager involved!! It didn't even make the 6 o'clock news, but then again, she was just a nobody and not the great Judy Murray.
That’s fucking legal tender pal!
Wonder if this would be a astory if she wasn’t famous
This is news?
harryhennessy
Whittle_87 🤣🤣🤣
Tesco take them... shop in Tesco
Was in the Novotel Edinburgh when they refused a Northern Ireland couple a drink because of the Northern Ireland £20 note!! It happens to others
Lies
Yet they take the euro . Racist
Sky about 3days late as usual
And?
This is outrageous, why is she even in England.
This is top notch journalism! Best news I've heard all week. Keep it coming Sky!
....and the news today is....
Nobody cares!
We should educate people who refuse to take Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes, as they are stupid
She better get British pounds from Andy
Well I had a restaurant in Scotland refuse my payment of a £10 English note !! Mind you the bill was for £36 quid .
I'd shut shop if thought she was coming in!!
£9 for two doughnuts, don't know if that says more about London, or the extravagance of the Murray family.
Let's try and get shop shut down.
Not legal tender
Refuses to Serve... hehehe you guys are hilarious
Showing off because she can afford 2 doughnuts at £10 !
Are you sure it wasn’t because she’s a cloppy stunt?
AND no one takes Manx money !!
Not another bloody campaign 😴😴😴 campaign to stop campaigns...🙄
It's not legal tender in England. Shops can take them but they don't have to if they don't want to. Total non-story
V dry on news today?
😂😂😂that is funny!! Nobody wants them shit notes in England,they are like having the scabby queen,you have to be really clever to get rid of em! can imagine her usual sour face was a picture!!Shopkeeper👉“No I don’t know who the fk you are but piss off with your Monopoly money”
Another great story from you lot, keep up the great work 👌
This would only be news if they refused to serve her because her son's a moody git.
Happened to me today in Weymouth!
and....
Old fashion luv ! nowadays can use a contactless
How is this news? Unless she has been refused service for being a dour faced Scottish publicity hound I’m not interested
And this news?
Aww fur fux sakes. This is pathetic.
And this is news why. This has happened to me and many others but we never made the news What difference does it make that it is Judy Murray because she is Scottish
Probably that has been happening to many over numerous year finally hits celebrity relative. Something must be done!!
Soooo many english saying 'who cares' or 'i dont care ' yet uve commented......
FFS DONT TELL NICOLA STURGEON,VOTE INDEPENDANCE
😱😱😱😱
I'm not sure why Judy Murray's Scottish notes incident made the headline news. There are so many problems in the world that is more important than that. You and I would never made ourselves to the headline if we said the same thing.
In London this is the norm for cabs & all retail - Scottish notes not generally accepted by any retailer in England for last 15 plus years - JudyMurray surprised it ur first experience of this as you are not a first time visitor to Londoncromlix house do accept all currency
And water is wet
Its legal tender pal😡
So many fakes about that’s why
Bloody foreigners, coming down ere, taking our donuts...🤣
The blue pill would be needed for this one!
Racist!
JudyMurray tweeted that a few days ago. Not news to anyone who has had a scottish note to spend in England. Shop staff can not win - could be fake.
They are within their right to not accept these notes. This is not news. If you travel to any other country you get the correct currency. Additionally it’s harder to spot fake Scottish (& N.I.) notes.
Who cares
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
This is a news story?
“I think you’ll find that is legal tender”
There is no legal requirement for any business to take any form of payment. It should be no different because she is well known, the business can refuse her payment perfectly legally.
This isn't news.
It’s happened to me in the past and I’m not even famous
Is this really news but then Sky is run by a load of jocks
Wow do you know how many times everyone else has been knocked back with a Scottish tenner
Good, sour faced cow
Was it McPavarotti playing up again? 😉😂
I'm struggling to find a single fuck to give
That’s it, it’ll be a second Scottish Independence Referendum 😡
Independence Now
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
This was in the news about 10 days ago JaneyGodley tweeted about it last week . Where has kayburley been with her helicopter as she missed this one . You Keep sending kayburley to that bloody commons green to report on that brexit hogwash and we all know how that ends REMAIN
Unbelievable!!!! There is no another way to follow without Scotland independence!!!
For God sake, seriously? They've been refusing to take NI banknotes for years and now MP's are involved just because Judy Murray is refused...
This staff got 'Served Up'.
Why go to the hassle of Scottish notes when English notes are ready available and acceptable.
I purposely take scottish notes to England. My beer and food is always quickly sampled before the money is handed over😙
Meanwhile, back in Syria....
It is the right of the shop to refuse to accept....they don’t even have to give a reason. I’ve been through all this myself with a Scottish tenner in our local Co-op in Yorkshire, the law is on the side of the store.
Scottish money is NOT legal tender outside Scotland and Stirling is not legal in Scotland. There’s a gentleman’s agreement in place between the Bank of England and the bank of Scotland to accept each other’s notes but shops are under no obligation to do so by law
As is their right. It is NOT legal tender.
Woman tries to buy an item with illegal currancy, gets rejected. It makes the news only because she gave birth to a successful tennis player. Meanwhile sentisists take a picture of a black hole that's lightyears away. What a strange time to live in.
How is she even news? Who gives a shit. She followed her son around playing tennis trying to get famous, and sadly it worked out for her.
Envelope licker 🤦♂️
“A campaign has been launched to make Scottish currency legal tender across the UK after Judy Murray was told she couldn't buy doughnuts with it”. Since when did things only change because Judy Murray was fucking impacted!
Why’s this news
Is this a piss take?
She only thinks she had a problem. She wants to try using a Northern Ireland banknote!
You can’t have your special little notes because you want to be so different then get upset when they are not recognised ! In other words.. you can’t have your cake or eat it Judy
Ooh she looks well pissed 🤣 (Not news btw)
Well Scotland is not an independent country yet... May be when they also take back control from the United Kingdom project... What the f***k has Cameron’s done to this country!!!
Great. Hated that style of singing anyway.
They have a right to refuse
Happens in many places in England!
And........You can refuse any payment if you’re a retailer
Sky News short on stories? If this had happened to ‘joe public’ we’d never have heard about it.
We've all been there Judy...
Not news
Ridiculous that this is even news...yawn
Big deal. There's people dying and real serious stories waiting to be shared with the world :/
Fake news.
Would this have made news if it was someone else?
And she phoned up to tell you,sad.
Time to go all Pretty Woman on the store!!!
Why are you only now publishing a story which happened days ago Sky so much for keeping up with current news stories 😕
NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!! 💥
And this makes the news?
Bet that's never happened before .
Maybe the shop should take some staff on with brains?
Is this news?
Happened to me in a bar in Newmarket, downed half the pint and said so what now 🍻 cheers
Doesn’t she use plastic?
Of course it is news, remember the United Kingdom? Better together and all that. Of course, if it was Scottish Oil it would be okay, that is the only thing that the UK wants from Scotland.
No doubt because of Brexit sky news
But but 'the union'🙄
Bloody right n’all!
JudyMurray Yes we use pound sterling. Even if I had a Channel Island note after our hols there you have to change it at a Bank. So get over it & just go the Bank.
Always thought you could take it to a bank?,anyway give it Jean-Claude Juncker and it’ll remind him that the SNP wants to join his EU Mafia after we have left,but the people of Scotland won’t be coming with them!!!!
Good! Punch the Judy!
SKY NEWS ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS ? HOW THE HELL IS THIS NEWS !!!!!!!!!!
Good !!
Wow seriously people it is not about the person it is the fact that they refused to take the money, yes I know it happens all the time to Scots & Irish but that does not make it right!! I have had this issue but refused to let them not accept it, call the police if you like 🤣
thought that happened to everyone
Tbf jack down the local would take my scottish £5
I’ve just got home to Liverpool from a six week job in Belfast... Liverpool shops don’t take Scottish or N. Irish money.... So made sure I spent it before I got home tonight.... Sterling is legal tender 🤔🤔
It’s legal tender I’ll have you know
Oh my god. What an absolute shocker. prayforjudy
I run an airport transfer business based in Loch Lomond and I take money from all over the world, I just check the rate and charge accordingly and put the money into my bank. No problems no issues. Everything is pre booked and I have customer details in case there are any issues.
Remind me to email you next time I get knocked backed with Scottish notes. I didn’t realise it was such a big thing 🙄
Legal tender shop is breaking the law
Well if you want know no where in mainland UK will accept our Gibraltar notes or coinage which sterling btw
How is this news,my god talk about scrapping the barrel,
Happened to me in Aldershot years ago but I had eaten my coffee and scone! The girl said ‘sorry mate, don’t take them notes’, I said thanks for the coffee and walked out 😂. Soon have our own currency after Indy Ref 2 🏴
BREAKING NEWS: THE PRICE OF EGGS IS........
£1 notes very popular in Scottish atm's
I returned to London once after Xmas in Belfast with about £200 in 20’s from the northern bank, didn’t dawn on me that it was just robbed of £26m..could spend them, took them to a lloyds bank...should have seen the staffs faces when, with my Irish accent, I asked to change them
Who cares
Typical English don’t like Scots
So what how is this news?
Breaking news - live from the scene
That's happen to me a few times too. Time to refuse their pound in Scotland?!
Wow is this even news.... She hates everything British like her Republican sympathiseing son so why even give the old bag the time of day
Shit reporting fuckinell
Did she create a racket?
Ha ha ever tried spending one in a taxi 🤓
No one takes a Scottish tenner down here or an Irish one , should she be treated any different
Groundbreaking journalism this lads
Join the queue.
That’s the Norm..!! I worked in retail years ago and we never accepted Scottish money...
wow....stop the press!
joemundo89
Old news,keep up.northern Irish people have been having this for ever 🙄🙁
Thought they originated from Spain and Italy. 🤷🏻♂️
This has always happened nothing new....
I've had a Scottish £10 when working up there & not had a problem spending it back in England.
There's a note of mockery here that should make you ashamed of yourselves. Here we have a vulnerable pensioner, that banknote probably the last of her cash, and no respite from grinding poverty in prospect. Her children, wherever they are, should be taking care of her.
Not even news worthy.
Pushed her kid relentlessly. Head like an axe. Serial killer eyes.
And? I'm pretty sure it's happens to 100s of people on a daily basis
Been happening to people from Northern Ireland for years, our “sterling” gets point blank refused in shops and restaurants.
Funny enough I was refused service with a Northern Ireland £10 in Scotland last year. It has to be said it a very strange system.
Hahaha...stoopid shop worker...That is British money 🤣🤣🤣🤣
See! we already have our own currency...
Never heard of her
So settled for a blowie
Because it's not a Euro
And she knows this so why try with the joke money in London, ah for attention 👍🏻
When her son wins he is English!
Fucking hell slow news day i take it
You don't want to upset TWD's Carol.....
Likely just a misunderstanding. Move on.
Take em to court, grass or clay.
That’s nothing new and it’s not news
Clearly doesn't own a credit card!!
Oh good enough for the Scots! !! Lackies to the English! !
Quite right.
Easy , return the gods and go buy them somewhere else.
Ignorant twats
Heard of contactless Judy?
😂😂😂
It’s not news?!!!
She should have gone back in she might have her second serve accepted 😁
paulsie87 Brexit means Brexit
OMG its the end of the world as weee know eeetttt!!!
How’s this news 😂😂😂
I have the same problem from time to time in Scotland, where they refuse to take Northern Irish banknotes.
And
I think you’ll find, pal, that’s illegal tender!
So what? Just use your bank card.
Many times I have gone to England as a tourist and they have refused to take my Scottish or NI Sterling.
This was yesterday’s news Sky
Who fucking cares, happens everyday
Rightly so 😂
Slow news day?
Not news, they're perfectly entitled to
So fuck
How is this news?
Fake tenner 😂 has some squirrels on it 😂
Can she sing
