Mike B. Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If Scotland vote yes today, it is expected the pound will do a bit of a nosedive in the short term after being quite high for last few weeks. For anyone going into Europe in near future-Caxton offering €1.2360 at the moment. Might be worth loading a few quids worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cameron has given no blank cheques to Scotland I'm glad to say. I believe what he means is that Scotland will in future be given even greater opportunity to allocate what funds are made available to it in whatever way it judges best!!! Thank god I no longer live there. By the way I am Scottish born and bred, and have worked my entire working life in Scottish companies or in British companies with Scottish locations. Life assurance, Shipbuilding twice, Car manufacturing twice, Oil industry, Local government, and Development corporation. My main bitch about some of the Scots (in common with some people in the rest of the UK ) is that too many of them want expect and demand other people to subsidise them......

I thought Cameron & CO said they would keep the Barnett formula? :-S ............ Which means they'll be getting more cash per head than the English :-|.............

jocie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Sorry, you are correct about that I think, but I hope that whatever happens with the four countries that make up the U.K. we in England should make damned sure if we can that we get a fairer system than we have at present , by which I mean that the "West Lothian Question" is answered to our satisfaction.
