Good or bad news depending on your point of view The Bank of Scotland is compliant! Transfer all your cash to the land of sporrans, heather, kilts, whisky, hey Jimmies, caber tossers, clans, Mcs, Macs, Glasgow slums, rain, deer, shoots, castles, nationalists, & porridge.

Anybody have a URL, or anything, handy in the way of documentation for a bank actually announcing compliancy??? (And does the FDIC know about this?...)

I'm not sure what it means, will find out from my Scots acquaintances. It may be just an exclamation, like Oh my gawd. you have to imagine it said with a strong broad accent. Guess you don't meet many Scotsmen over in S USA.

Ah, laddie, ye dinna ken "Och, aye, the noo"? Reminds me of the story of the two Scots who both loved to attend the theatre and were comparing favorite musicals.

Angus told Hamish, "Ah, lad, ye havena lived 'til ye've seen 'Noo, Noo, Nanette' 'Tis magic, it is."

Hamish replied, "I dinna ken that shoo. What ist?"

Angus was aghast and said, "Laddie, ye must be pulling m'leg."

Hamish said, "Noo, 'tis true. I dinna noo that shoo."

Angus was dumbfounded. He paused, and then asked most seriously, "Y'mean to tell me that ye noo noo 'Noo, Noo, Nanette.'?!"

Hmmm... Would this be considered a dialect-ical discussion? 8-}]

From a Scotsman:

Och aye the noo, literarally translated is 'oh yes the now', which I suppose means 'yes now', as in 'yes now, let's see'
