Nicola, is in dreamland as far as l am concerned. I am married to a Scot. I do work for some Scots, and wont accept Scottish currency. As some shops wont accept Irish money either
The Scottish people, and they are brilliant. Made there decision. and therefore are the control of the Government in London.

Uk membership fee is baised on GDP so Scotland wont pay anything like the £160m pw (NOT £350m as advertised) that the whole of the UK pay.
While oil is their biggest income they do also have quite an affective financial sector. IF Scotland leaves the UK AND IF they retain EU membership AND IF the RUK pull out of the EU without a free-trade agreement including services i could see much of the city moving to Scotland.
If i were Nicola the first people i would be talking to would be CEOs at HSBC, BARCLAYS, CITI etc
