And finally…Tennent’s to provide England fans with ‘legal tender’ currency exchange

Scottish brewing giant Tennent’s is to open a currency exchange in Glasgow before Saturday’s Scotland vs England game in a bid to poke fun at the long running “legal tender” dilemma that has long faced many Scots attempting to use our notes south of the border.

In response to the embarrassment that has been endured by those affected, Tennent’s Lager say they will be serving up a bit of light relief for anyone who has suffered the (temporary) humiliation of having their money refused in England.

The Glasgow brewer has now announced the launch of its new campaign ‘Here to Serve’ which will see Tennent’s cheekily set up a Currency Exchange operating on Buchanan Street and outside Hampden Park, so that any English fans who don’t want to run the risk of having “their notes refused in Glasgow pubs” can come and change them.

Speaking ahead of the auld enemy’s World Cup qualifier, a spokesperson for Tennets said: “As the nation’s longest established brewer, Tennent’s has been serving the nation longer than any other beer brand, and Here to Serve is a commitment to continue that service for years to come. “As its first public service, Tennent’s will be giving English football fans a little taste of what Scots can be faced with when they try and get a round in south of the border.”

The exchange will be live on Buchanan Street on Saturday 9am-1pm and outside Hampden Park 3pm-5pm.
