Dos Equis is replacing the actor who plays the Most Interesting Man in the World as the beer brand makes major changes to what is widely viewed as one of the best ad campaigns of the 21st century. Jonathan Goldsmith, who has played the character since the campaign launched in 2006, is making a final appearance in an ad that debuts Thursday evening.
Scotland has joined Northern Ireland and Wales in abolishing prescription fees-leaving England as the only part of the UK to charge for them. No one in Scotland will have to pay for prescribed medicines following the move brought in by the SNP government.ut despite the charge, 90% of items dispensed are given out free as children, those on low incomes and cancer patients are exempt. Prescription charges have been falling in Scotland for the last three years and stood at Â£3 before the 1 April change, which will mean the Scottish government losing out on Â£57m a year.

The change reduces the legal alcohol limit from 80mg to 50mg in every 100ml of blood. Campaigners believe the new limit will cut the number of deaths and serious injuries on Scottish roads.
