PoundLand
Everything's a Pound
The Pound Shop

(Course you London sorts have probably never heard of these shops!)

We have plenty of them here:

Ein Euro Laden
Alles unter ein Euro

Cheap tat for cheap people (possibly why they're so popular in the UK )

No disrespect to the good people of Scotland - I'm sure they feel that their intelligence has been as insulted as much as I feel mine has.

If you (yes, YOU) want to create trolling threads about the state of the nation, at least try posting a link to something from this century

Ok, if you could choose to make me stop one of the two allegedly dull things, which one would you prefer me to stop: the jokes or economic analysis?

So if Scotland adopts the Euro... would the Royal Bank of Scotland become the Royal Bank of England? If so, what would happen to HBoS... Would that become Halifax Bank of England? I wouldn't think Merv would be happy.
