# Did you know...
You're not allowed to do this...



But I think this is okay...




Apparently you can only put royalty's image on a pub sign when they're dead.

99.9% fact

# And also
you can't portray an image of the Queen's head being mutilated in any way (including showing money in the toilet, setting fire to a stamp etc.)

And stamps are legal tender.

And Scottish money isn't legal tender in England (but no-one should refuse it).

And some other facts, too.

# I always get dirty looks when I pay for things
with Scottish notes on holiday.

# I often live
on the scottish border on the east coast and more or less all of our money is scottish. But we have a tearoom and shop and stuff and the tourists hate it.

But what has always puzzled me is why they weren't nearly as many scottish notes on the border on the west of the country.

I think it might be to do with the angle of the scottish border. Directly to our west, you see, is Scotland. Even though we're in England.

SHUT UP, BEN.
