BRITISH BANKNOTES, SCOTTISH BANKNOTES, AND BEER

'That's legal tender, pal'. It's the phrase that's wheeled out every time you try to spend Scottish money in England.

Whether it’s in a pub, taxi, restaurant or shop, Scots don’t like having their hard earned cash snubbed down south.

Tennent’s Lager are offering the chance to swap your English banknotes for Scottish money ahead of Saturday’s World Cup qualifier with the Auld Enemy.

The Glasgow brewer has launched a campaign called "Here to Serve’.

They’ll be holding a currency exchange on Buchanan Street and then outside Hampden Park and English fans can change their money if they fear their notes will be refused in Glasgow pubs.

The Buchanan street event will take place between 9am and 1pm before moving onto Hampden between 3pm and 5pm ahead of kick-off.

Vouchers for a free taste of Tennent’s will also be available to fans to raise a glass.

Alan McGarrie, Head of UK Brand Marketing at Tennent’s, said: “Our new campaign is all about providing a service to Scots, so we thought the match against England was the perfect opportunity for us to serve up a bit of banter and level the playing field.

"We couldn’t think of a better way to do that than by playing off the long running joke around legal tender.”
