They still exist in Scotland, but the only people that use them are beggars as they can hide them in their socks.

But would they still be accepted as legal tender still, or are they just used as sock padding now?

They are in Scotland, not in England, in the same way that English notes aren't legal tender in Scotland. However, whilst English notes are generally accepted in Scotland, Scottish notes are harder to spend in England, it tends to be up to the discretion of the place you're spending them. If you're in the north of England they might get accepted.

Apparently[^] they don't think it belongs in an aquarium. On behalf of People Eating Tasty Animals I wholeheartedly endorse this position. Put it back where it can be trapped again and served on a platter with a big bowl of melted butter. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The hell with where it can be trapped. Tank => pot => plate => me. IMHO the best thing you can do to a lobster.

I used to work at an aquarium and PETA tried to start a campaign against us because fish was on the menu in the restaurant! I think they thought that the fishies in the tanks could see their relatives being consumed.

This is the first time in 20 years that I have spent my birthday in the UK.
Still no cards, only my wife remembered. Both daughters and the 10 million plus Cpians all forgot!

Sit down a moment, Griff.
Now, er, how can I put this?
We, um, we can't send you a card last February, because, well, because there aren't really any Time Lords in CP.
