Good news. Unfortunately no matter how good news that is, we're still left with bad news :(

Worked in retail in London for 10 years. You're very unlikely to get challenged over a Scot note in the city, it's the suburbs that'll look at you blankly thinking you're handing them Monopoly money :D

We could do far far worse than Theresa May in charge.  At least she was a Remainer...

yer and to be fair anything over a £20 in any note raises an eyebrow in general, we are the same with english 50s n 100s but due to more possibility of being distributed forgeries and vice versa down there id imagine.

Sadly true. We'll either have Theresa May - who's threatening to deport EU migrants and wants to turn the UK into a surveillance state - or Andrea Leadsom - an economically illiterate tax dodger and professional liar, and after today, you can also add anti-equality to her list of "qualities".

She is sinister, as I mentioned above. She doesn't try to hide it, like Boris Johnson does.

I didn't even know we had £100 notes. Had to look it up! Apparently, they're not used by the Bank of England...

 

Oh, and I'm old enough to remember shillings! :p

A very quiet one, though; she was kept hidden for most of the campaigning. I suspect she was trying to stay on David Cameron's good side, as most of the polls did indicate Remain was going to win (then again, they also said we'd have a hung parliament last year). I see her as similar to Boris: a populist who'll happily flip-flop on issues.

I think i was about 20 when Gregg's banned them. Before that i'd only ever seen one at work and the only reason we accepted that is it was Terry Hall (of The Specials) who was a regular customer and wanted to spend it.

We worked the following out:

 

Currently I pay for a mortgage on a TINY 2 bed house in London and bills etc. about £1600 a month. We earn between us a comfortable amount, but it will take MANY years to clear our mortgage and the country is no longer stable, so my job could be at risk, thus making mortgage payments difficult.

 

We worked out that with the current price of our house, we can walk away with £190,000 in our pocket. This, as it stands today (but not what we would expect to get in the future), would equal to about 220,000 euro.

 

In her country we can get a 5 bed house that's 5 times larger than our current London 2 bed and comes with enough land on the back to build our own small community if we wanted! The one we have seen that we like now (but wouldn't expect to get) backs on to a river at the end of the garden, with the garden being a good 5 minute walk across!

You could get a very nice detached house in Yorkshire for that sort of money also. London is a totally different world compared to up here.

 

Granted if you worked up here you would likely earn significantly less than you do in London.

Exactly the camp i'd put her in. To be honest, i'm just pleased it wasn't Gove.

Ditto. I'm pleased it isn't going to be Boris, either; I did bet on him to win before he backed out at the last minute, but the good definitely outweighed the bad there. :p

After six years of Cameron, nothing scares me anymore, except perhaps Prime Minister Farage. :p

Exactly mate. Would love to live up north, but its full of northerners! :p (only a joke by the way).

 

But yeah, that's the great thing. We can have a big house and land, for little money and I can earn an amazing wage for the place I'm living.
