Hello all, This Thursday, the Scottish politicians have asked the people living in Scotland to make their views known as to whether they wish to govern themselves and break away from the United Kingdom or remain British. Scotland, a country that is 33 per cent land mass and 16 per cent of the population of the United Kingdom, its major revenue being “black gold” (oil) and “gold watch” (whisky) forgets its economy relies on the strength of being United. I am wondering if Scottish people of Goan origin will vote whichever way the money goes. Will we being seeing the first sign of a Scottish Rupee ditching the Scottish Pound. At least if anything this will be a new currency on the block as the world keeps chasing after the sterling and the US dollar. Foreign exchange transactions are worth 3 trillion a day in the City of London, England, so guess who will be better off.
