Hi all As you will have heard, the creation of the Scottish Rupee will no longer take place. Bravo Scotland. The people of Scotland have decided we are better off as United Kingdom.
This may be an example for the doubting Thomases in Goa that we can also be better off united with all the other states in India as at the moment we are looked upon as the most backward state. On my part, I breathe a sigh of relief that the price of beer will remain steady. When I am in Goa there is the urgency in the morning to get to the television first to watch Thomas the Tank engine and all the creativity needed along with the big fat controller to run a railway. This is before others wake up and get to the television for the US dollar rate and sterling rate to the rupee. Today, if you agree, one can invade a country by sending them their currency to exchange with the local money until there is no more to exchange. In return its inhabitants can be imported as slaves paying their own way and keeping the money go round cycle going. Melvyn Fernandes Thornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom 19 September 2014
