From Ron Shankland: Hi all, I dont know to put a message onto Facebook that will go all over to everyone that wants to see it. Can one of you copy this for me and do that, please?? I live in Germany and this morning, 2nd January, 2015, I went to my village bank. The VOLKSBANK is Germanys second largest bank. I put down 35 Scots £20 notes on the counter. Can you change these into Euros please? The lady looked at them and said, Sorry, since October 1st 2014, we can only change Bank of England notes from the UK. I got the manager to come over, asked who had written that order, and made quite a fuss, believe me. Ive been a customer of theirs for years. The manager made a couple of calls and came back. He said, apologetically, Apparently the British Government in London recommended that all European banks only change English notes, Im sorry, it seems to be a political decision. I asked him to call the Sparkasse, his competitor, and ask them. They also said, No, no Scots notes at all. I said to the manager: But Scotland is still part of the UK ! The Bank of England doesnt seem to think so, he said, shrugging his shoulders apologetically. I left the bank fuming. Who the HELL do these politicians and (w) bankers in London think they are?! As I said, would one of you (or all of you) be good enough to put this on Facebook. Thank you. (Y)
