Striking a sour note

Calton does not venture south of the border very often these days and so he was surprised to hear that Scottish banknotes are still being knocked back in England. Unionist politicians must be sitting with their heads in their hands - what a gift for the Nationalists! Scottish athletes are winning gold in London and yet Londoners are turning their noses up at our money! Boris Johnson has now instructed London buses to accept Scottish notes, which is the least he could do. What about all the bars, restaurants, hotels and taxis? How would English people feel if we started refusing their Bank of England notes up here? It's high time they stopped being so parochial and realise that we have our own banknotes, otherwise we will be voting to have our own currency!
