Scotland warned it could lose the pound and be forced to join Euro

There is also the strategic argument, If Scotland goes, who is next ? Liverpool ?

You've lived in Devon so long that you've turned into English?

I'd like to see the border with Scotland moved south to encompass the bulk of the tulipty northern England towns and cities. I'd like to see an independant Wales and independance for the Cornish people too.

Then without having to prop up all these chavs and neds with their huge social problems and unemployment, England would we like Monaco, packed full of wealthy bankers and property speculators.

Boomed!

Bring it on.

Other issues which Downing Street said would need ironing out are shared defence capabilities, the national debt and border security.

A carve up of assets between England and Scotland could leave both countries facing years of legal wrangling.

For a start we can load up RBS with all remaining toxic assets, and bury it in the Scottish asset pot at full loan book value,... after all it is the Royal Bank of Scotland.

It might be transferred to Royal Lloyds Group...

Eh? I am pretty sure that most of your ancestors, and indeed mine and everyones, have died.

In battle or not they all certainly died..... yet here we all are!!
