    I have to agree with the present government's statements regarding sharing the pound should a yes vote prevail.
    If the yes vote wins and Scotland becomes a country in its own right then surely it will have to have its own currency with its banking resources to back it up.
    After all if it does become independent and joins the commonwealth, it will surely need its own currency. I would liken an independent Scotland to, lets say, Canada and they have their own currency so why should Scotland be any different?

    Ah !! The trouble is simple.
    No one knows if that stone is the real one.
    The people who pinched it in the 50's wont tell which is which.

    If Scotland leaves the UK then we will not be the UK, only as John Sutton said F.U.K.
    My nationality was Great Britain, then they change my nationality to U.K. I did not want to be an UK.
    Also I do not want to be a F.U.K. What a name to have on your passport.
    Can I have a decent named Nationality please? .... and certainly NOT european.
    Any good suggestions ??
    Cheers
    Brian

    British will do for me Brian. If Scotland does go independant then we shall be heading back across the border to England. The thought of what would lie in the future is truly frightening. Personally I think the Scots will vote to stay in the union. We shall see.

    Loch Ness Monster "Wrong Size" for new E. U. Regulations:

    New E.U. Lake Monster regulations taking effect from referendum day 18th September may mean Loch Ness will have to be drained and the monster shortened by 2 metres to bring it in line with 22 other European Lake Monsters, a spokesperson from Brussels stated today.

    Germans in particular like their monsters to be exactly 23 metres long and with the Independence Declaration imminent, Angele Merkel's approval of the Scottish monster will be essential. "The days of higgledy piggledy monsters are long past now, and just as our bananas have to be straight, our monsters must be uniform in length", a Pedant said this morning

    Alex Salmon said "I don't mind this at all, we will probably do it after Easter when its quiet again though. I've been meaning to clean out the Loch for a couple of years now and we will probably put a new pump and filter in. I think we will have to stop people from over feeding the monster as the water soon gets smelly and cloudy. I might get some of those Sucking Loaches to keep green algae off the side of the Loch while I'm at it. There's an E.U. grant available for this now".
