Personally I can't see it ever happening at all. There are more Scots
and of Scots descent in England than there are in Scotland. It is all
part of our longer term plot to over run them by outbreeding.


Gees all the Scots need to do is enlist the support of their brethren in
Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Northhumberland, etc. and England will have
been devided and conquered.


It already is. We just haven't announced it yet. The stockpile of
Scottish and Newcastle's Newcastle Brown ale (aka `nookie broon') is not
yet big enough to cater for the festivities that will inevitably ensue.

Magna Jocklandiae now includes major portions of Canada, New Zealand,
USA, Australia,.... as well as Newcastle, Corby,.... oh yes....and Kings
Cross station, London :-) .

wey ey The Toons!! :-)

How about:

£50 - Mel Gibson
£100 - Sean Connery
£200 - Dave Parrish
£500 - Billy Connolly
£1000 - Donald Dewar

Thanks
Darren


Given that The Cldesdale bank is owned by an Australian bnaking group, i
am surprised that we don't already have a `Meller' (or at least some
bounding marsupial as a watermark).


They could have put Paul Hogan on their notes, but then you probably don't
know him as the Aussie holiday chap.


He's named after my home town in his movies.

Sean Connery is much better `liked' overseas than he is in Scotland.
That he lives overseas is perhaps for the best. Let the country which
hosts him put him on their banknotes I say.


You mean Captain Ranius, Soviet Navy? At least he was a good defective
communard in the Hunt for Red October.


A Russian who still can't pronounce his `s' correctly.

Now as for Dave. Having already attained prominence in The Sunday Post
he is well on the way to having his fizzog appear on a note. Whether it
be a banknote or other remains to be seen for the moment.


Everybody forgets that Dave chatted on the Fred MacCauley hour with Fred
himself yackin 'bout Scottish banknotes. Only person I knew who listened
was one of my cousins. Must be reflective of the quality of that show aye?
I am more famous in Scawttyland than my own Duchy of Eireann, which BTW has
it's own banknotes designed by me.


Fred who?



Billy Connelly?......as much chance of that as John Pertwee appearing on
a BofE note wearing his Wurzel Gummidge head.


Note.boy would be a far better choice for this note, he got me really
started in this sick pursuit of all banknotes Scottish. The "BabeMagnet"
could be featured on the reverse of this note.


You need to get involved in something much more wholesome.....coins. :-)


Donald Duck maybe.....? ....but that ranks up there alongside the
probabilities of Beckham appearing on any bona fide banknote.

Ian

Now the subject goes back to English notes, I think Posh Spice of the Spicey
Girls would be suitable on the behind side of HRH QE the II.


You are really tempting fate there Dave. It is about the only thing I
can think of that would be worse than Beckham. No.....I lie. The image
of `ginger spice' wearing her union jack outfit just came to mind (hurl).

BTW Ian, seen any UFO's lately?

Dave


Not yet Dave. Those carrier pigeons aren't trained the way they used to
be. Mind you it all depends on whether they find a decent a tail wind or
not.

I do however have an effigy of a Martian on my windowsill........
