Aye, I would say that if your card is clairty, just give it a wipe. :-D

(do you know of any other country that incorporates 4 separate historical countries, each with various degrees of devolved authority?).

Well the U.S. started with 13 such countries, and added at least two more (Texas and Hawaii).

Forgive me but this is probably going to be a stupid question.

Can I use my Halifax clarity credit card in Scotland without any extra fees added on. Haven't been to Scotland before as an adult. Also do they accept England bank notes as well

Remember to pay the balance in full! That's where all the fees come from.

Btw hilarious question and the answers are even better!

Forgive me as well. But I am utterly shocked that anyone would actually ask that.

I hope you enjoy your visit and would say you have nothing to worry about.

I wasnt winding you up. As I say I haven't been to Scotland as an adult only as a small child.

Sorry for asking such a question which got stupid and horrible answers.

Thank you to the poster below my original question who answered quickly

I wouldn't worry about it, it's the nature of forums.

A bit of teasing is OK and to be fair the majority of posts aren't aimed at you, there's lots of people who want any excuse to carry in with the pro and anti arguments for independence and Brexit, so ignore that element.

Check which bank actually issues your Halifax card

I'm not sure that you can argue the 13 were countries in the way that England, Scotland etc. are, they were British colonies with a degree of self government but with no existence in that form before the arrival of the colonisers. There's a better claim for Texas as although it too started as a Spanish colony it did have a short period of independence as a republic before becoming a US state. I'll give you Hawaii though.

I have a Clarity card but i'm ashamed to say i've never visited Scotland despite living in England since i was born.
However, i too find it alarming that any adult living in the UK would have to ask this question. Do children not study Geography these days ?

Just look around Europe though.

France, Germany, Spain, Italy are all federations of regions that often have little in common apart from language, and even language isn't necessarily consistent. From catalonia, to Brittany, to Bavaria to almost all of Italy there's little consensus and often little love for the central government and overall country.

Quite, if there's anyone talking rubbish in this part of the discussion I think both you and I know who it is!

You guys must look dubious, it is at least 25 years since a shop south of the border refused to take a Scottish fiver, or bigger, off me.
