Well according to the Lady that harassed folk on Dundas St with the 'Big Issue' for years (has she retired yet?) it's either the 'Poond' or 'Justerpoond'!

Or possibly create your own currency and don't be dependant on a country or government you want nothing to do with
That way the UK can carry on having their currency and Scotland can deal in sheep or join the Eurozone :thup:

Wasn't the pound 'a mill stone' not so long ago, and the euro an answer to all his prayers?

I believe that not so long ago Mr Salmond claimed that an independent Scotland would be better off within Europe and the Eurozone.
My, how times change.

Surely,Independence is independence , meaning borders, independent governance, funding and a separate currency ?
You can't just have the nice,easy bits and leave the awkward bits for the rest of the UK to pick up.
Why the hell should Westminster let a cowboy like Salmond loose and support his ecomonic and fiscal decisions and their ramifications with the Bank of England?
Without Sterling, Scotland would turn into another Albania

They sure have, I remember when you could buy Euros for 70p.

He said it last year. Euros for 70p was a lot longer ago than that.

Quite - being away from it all we are not immersed in all the total and often rather pathetic and vitriolic nonsense that many Scots spout about England and the English. As 'outsiders' who often maintain a keen interest in what is going on 'back home' - as I do for family reasons - we can have quite a different perspective on matters with us living out in the wider world (if you can call England part of that)

Well you will be alright then once you are all in that economic Utopia that is the Eurozone with control of your economy in the hands of Frankfurt.

And lots of things "might" happen after a YES vote - and the YES team are correctly being pressed to be precise about them. Though for many questions they can only predict what will be and what they'd like to be because they don't know what the world will be like post a YES in 2016. So it's all about what might happen both ways.

And so an iScotland will hand back Trident to us - as an iScotland wouldn't want rUK to be dependant upon them. Fair enough - Portsmouth needs the work.

Possible - obviously - as nothing is impossible - but you really think it likely?

Trident will have to leave iscot as it would be unthinkable for RUKs nuclear deterant being based on foreign soil. And it won't be to Portsmouth.

Well entry into the Euro is far from assured given the tests required by Brussels and has Scotland really got a stable enough economy the financial reserves to weather the turbulence in the world markets - in a word No!

Well if they go for it and find themselves in that hole - good luck to them. But 25yrs down the line when they have dug themselves out of that hole I guess we shouldn't expect any favours from them. And meanwhile as we let them fall apart (with no impact on rUK economy) I'm thinking they won't really see us as very helpful or friendly neighbours. That's going to be fun,

It's UK - there is no such place a rUK and there won't be afterwards - it will still be UK
And yes we can keep our trident and our currency and our armed forces - in fact we can have everything and Scotland can be truly independent and create everything from scratch
And then you will need to apply for a visa to work in England or anywhere in the UK or go back and find work in the newly formed Independant country of Scotland
