The headlines don't look great for the Yessers this morning. Today's papers are carrying the news that BP and Shell both agree with the assessment that the oil will be pretty much gone within 35 years, and that Standard Life and RBS have plans in place to relocate to England in the event of a Yes.
Oh, and that most aptly named newspaper, The Scotsman, has published a front page editorial tearing the case for independence to shreds and coming out firmly for NO.
Apparently Salmond also got his generously proportioned erse handed to him on a plate in an online debate with Darling at Mumsnet.com as well ...

LBG's main consumer banking brands are Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, so naturally they have existing HQ addresses in London, Halifax and Edinburgh. The prospect of the Edinburgh operation losing its status or disappearing altogether would be seismic. It was bad enough when they merged with Halifax, after which there was a lot of huffing and puffing over which location had become the 'true' head office of the combined group.
