Wasen't that a Scottish banknote? I know that Scotland is a part of
the UK
but it is not "British".

Noteboy should have more to say about that.

Me? Whatever gave you that idea? :-)

Another examples of someone getting confused with
Scotland/England/Britain, this is an extremely common confusion in
England, it's amazing and a sad reflection on the English education
system. (Scotland has an entirely separate one)

The writer of the article should have used "English" and not "British"
and they would have been correct.

If the Beatles appeared on a Bank of England note it would be the first
time a person born in the 20th century had appeared on an English note
but the second time for a British note, i.e. a note issued in Britain,
which Scotland is part of, unfortunately.

I once sent for a list of "British" notes for sale expecting to receive a
list of notes issued in various parts of Britain (Scotland England and
maybe Northern Ireland, The Channel Islands and The Isle of Man) but the
list consisted of English notes only, the seller should have described
the list as consisting of "English" notes. As I don't collect foreign
notes it was of no use to me. Billy

:-) They were truly awesome!

Includes....

The musicians would be the first people born in the 20th century to
feature on a British banknote.

What about the golfer on the recent Scotish note... ? They seem to have
forgetten him....

Thanks Mr Paul Baker

They did have a song called "Money" so it would seem appropriate.
