Indeed so Wodger, very true.

£ looks very vulnerable in the next few weeks and bad news for anyone who has a trip in the near future

I shall probably change my dosh when I get there if if looks like a yes vote nearer the time? £ bound to drop a bit more if it is a yes vote.

Cameron is a disgrace. Yes, he is loathed in Scotland, but that means he cannot do any more damage to himself or the tories. As leader of the Unionist party he should be on the stage with Salmond and wipe the floor with him, it would not be very difficult.

Now everyone is getting worried about the Yes vote (not me I'm convinced it will be No) how long before the London media pours some muck on Salmond? I know for a fact that they have something, the timing will be interesting.

I spoke to a customer at work not long ago who said her husband was from the same town as Salmon and it was an open secret there he was a heavy gambler.

We could probably help the media along, anyone any good at photoshop? We could have him playing a game of three card brag in Boystown with Mirky. Revealed exclusive and all that.

In a lot of ways there is an anti Thatcher element driving nationalism. A vague notion that we could do better than having a bunch of English public school boys running the show. A hatred of 'Westminster' which seems to implicitly be a code word for Tories, London... basically The English.

With no currency plans set in stone, a vote for yes seems to me to be a massive gamble. Incredibly though it seems like less people are concerned with economics and more their sense of identity. If Adolf Salmond and his natsi's can pull this off they'll have beaten Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems, every major political party.

Worrying times...

With regarding the current weakening of the £ due to the impending vote, perhaps we could contact the thai exchequer to find out how you "fix" (I mean) keep the currency strong during years of turmoil that would have destroyed other countries economies.

One of the things that I`ve not noticed being brought up is that London is one of the leading financial centres of the world.

It has it`s scandals etc but the amount of transactions routed through it is totally out of proportion to the ( small ) size of the UK, that makes money, some of it filters through to the general economy.

In one financial trade sector it has about 54 % + of total world trade, quite an amazing feat.

An independent Scotland would maybe lose out there, already talk that they would not have the excellent credit rating that the UK as a whole has.
