Originally posted by scooterscot View PostHonestly it's not an issue for me. And that's me speaking with two properties in Scotland whose combined value is over £500k. So I've a lot to loose. But are they going to be valued at less than £300k, 200k less in a years time? I don't think so.
There's far more important things needing attention in Scotland than currency. Poverty being an important one. An independent Scotland is going to use the power to start with. A change will only come later, as much as it was like when Ireland went independent.
I think it's far more disconcerting to GBP when 5 million less people stop using it.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

It's incredible a wealthy society such as ours must make the basics in life commercial.
The UK press often criticises UK AID to countries with nuclear / space programs.
I recall one family in Fife, reading the story that the stress of Christmas brings. Employed, both parents, yet family life was next to nil. It's makes me wench inside and I compare such stories against my own living standards.
Live to work if you like, but I'd far rather a society that is based on working to live."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
