I hate that phrase.

He is wrong in as much as The non Crown dependacy islands off England, Scotland and Wales do form part of Great Britain and are considered part of the British Isles. Unlike Northern Ireland which is neither part of Great Britain or the British Isles. Indeed citizens of Northern Ireland can not strictly refer to them selves as British. Then no one can because, as he said, the old British passport is no more and we are all UK citizens now and not GB citizens.
Well until next September anyway..... :uhoh

Oh what a can of worms to open!

I would agree but I would be careful who you said that too. Depending on their political affiliations it would either earn you a slap on the back or a punch in the face :rofl
Lots of wrong bits in it which serve only to muddy the waters. There is no such thing as 'The Republic of Ireland'. My passport and driving licence says Ireland. Sure we are a republic but are we going to start calling the USA: The Republic of the United States of America? It's only used to differentiate us from Northern Ireland which is not a country but at best an artificially created region or territory like the Channel Islands.
One thing that video highlights is how complicated the whole UK thing is. For example Scotland, Northern Ireland and the offshore island have their own banknotes but not Wales. But none of them are legal tender, only Bank of England notes are legal. The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are British but not part of the UK or members of the EU.
It's a bit of a mess really. Who knows what'll happen is Scotland votes to become independent. Not that I think that will happen. The Scots have got used to sucking off the English teat for too long. :bolt:

Bank of England notes are not legal tender in Scotland. In fact no money is legal tender in Scotland, it all gets a bit confusing. They are classified as legal currency and legally can be used anywhere in the UK.
But try using a Scottish note in England..... one of the most infuriating things ever. :mad:

why would you try to use a Scots note in England??
it would be like me using dollars in Aberdeen.
-
Why can't you guys just stop arguing and use the Euro?
-
Because majority of countries that use the Euro are bone idle :old:

So, what's one more?

Knowing Aberdeen, dollars might be perfectly acceptable.

If you give up the sovereignty of your currency, you give up a lot. Your central bank, for example, can no longer adjust currency supply, but some other entity can.

Bank of England notes are legal tender in Scotland and vice-versa..

"Scottish Bank notes are not Legal Tender, not even in Scotland. In fact, no banknote whatsoever (including Bank of England notes!) qualifies for the term 'legal tender' north of the border and the Scottish economy seems to manage without that legal protection."

do each england bank print different version of ea note like Scots do?
-
No just the Bank of England which is actually a Central bank. You can't open an account anymore than you can in the Federal Reserve. The printing of notes leads to some interesting situations. For example each bank in Northern Ireland has it's own notes. So among others you get Bank of Ireland notes, Ulster bank notes and strangest of all Danske bank notes. Try spending them in England. :rofl One guy got arrested for trying to buy something with a Northern bank note in England.
Years ago the IRA robbed the then Northern bank of millions of their notes. The bank promptly printed new style banknotes and cancelled the old ones. Rendered them useless overnight. Problem solved.
