How do you think we feel? Another Scotsman who helped invent the modern world, defaced by appearing on a manky english note.

You can take away my life, but you'll never take away my theory on the wealth of nations ...

I think you imply a symmetry between the institutions that does not exist.

The Bank of Scotland is a Scottish company, as it happens a bank. The Bank of England is the central bank of the UK, i.e. a UK government institution.

The Bank of Scotland is Scottish, the Bank of England is not English.

PS and the BoE was founded by a Scot.

None, but the 1966 World Cup Squad are featured on our toilet rolls, and it is possible to buy Margaret Thatcher novelty suppositories too!!
