Skipping 50 pages and into today's debate on the currency union issue....
If Scotland went its own way, then the chance of a currency union is zero. But I believe we, the rest of the British, would be generous here and state that in effect the country, the UK, had split into two seperate parts. This is key, because it would mean Scotland could join the euro and would not have to apply for new EU membership.
The rivals issue is exactly why I would not want Scotland to go independent. You can be friends one day and the next...

I thought it rude to go straight into a thread without addressing the OP's question first. Don't ban me if I quote some other older posts too.
I've got 50 pages to read on this thread alone.
