Oil

[piratelassie]

Now that there has been conformation of a massive oil find west of Scotland lets NOT let Westminster pull the wool over our eyes this time, like they did in the 1970s. The future of oil production around Scotland's shoreline is looking very healthy indeed.

Have travelled to many places in England myself and only once did I have any problem, that was in London, go to Blackpool and they will glady take your twenty pound note and give you back change in Northern irish notes [lol]

I don't get what the fuss is about with the £, as you pointed out Scotland has its own £ notes but not the coins, why not mint Scottish coins and back up the currency with a Scottish central bank as the English pound is backed up by the Bank of England. Sorted. Or am I missing something ?.
