Cherry picking indeed!
The currency after independence could be the same as before the union which was .... the pound Scots.
Musket, I'm still waiting the your explanation re Dick Gaughan.Again the rest of your posting is all supposition, time will tell but the rUK will obviously have to re negotiate EU budgets as it will be short of a large land area, fisheries etc.
So rUk will be just that, rUK. The Bank of England is independent and holds Scotish assets as well. Jim Wallace the advocate general for Scotland has just said that his analogy for Scotland leaving the UK is to leave a golf club and take holes 17 and 18 with them.
I think a fairer analogy is to say to Scotland you're not in the club but we want to continue paying your dues.
None of this can be resolved now, slagging or praising celebraties, whose opinions are of no matter except to readers of Hello magazine or the Telegraph. Balanced arguments are required.
