Don't worry I'm sure fat eck has a plan to set up a barter system where everything is paid for with ginger bottles and fried mars bars.

Well it won't be all bad, just think how much quieter it'll be up there if the SNP gets its way...
Salmond does like to have his cake and eat it. I reckon he should put his money where his mouth is and go for total independence not his version which is akin to children leaving home but popping back every weekend when the cupboard's empty, the money's run out and the dirty washing needs doing. I've often heard Salmond claim that an independent Scotland would be a good friend to its immediate neighbours, however that promise seems to be predicated on the SNP being able to choose its obligations/commitments as if it were filling a pick 'n' mix bag at Woolworths.
