Norway rely on 30%of its income from oil ... we rely on 15% .. some how they manage

So do all these other countries that don't even have oil ... I know it's amazing to think there is a world where people survive without oil money ... but it's true

perhaps you could tell us
-what norways budget deficit/surplus is compared to scotland
-what norways debts are compared to scotland (well their fair share of the UK debts)

Ever been to Norway. Sounds as if you haven't. I can assure you that you wouldn't like their cost of living. Horrendously expensive. With virtually everything being imported.

Would that be those jobs that were promised to be safe of we voted No ? Like the Steel works and HMRC etc ... vote Yes and they will go ... and yet they went anyway ?

No jobs are ever safe. That's a fact of life.

I'd trust Salmond and Sturgeon to do what they feel is best for Scotland over George Osborne and David Cameron any day. I suspect it's majority view in Scotland these days. :cool:

Yeah, right until their pen hovers over the referendum ballot paper! 😀
Trust doth not butter the parsnips Shakey, not with a £6 billion plus blackhole anyway.

No? This is what Salmond was actually saying before the referendum.

Salmond didn't make the predictions himself. The White paper took them from the same sources the UK Treasury did. Everyone was wrong. Are you finding that hard to understand somehow ?

No I've never been ... have a few friends that stay there they seem to like it. .. yep they say things are very expensive ... buy they also earn a lot more and can afford things ... there's always two sides isn't there

I can see the "Back the rUK and sod the Scots" campaign run by the Daily Mail now if ever the Scots go nuclear and vote YES in the future.
Many a Brit company based in Scotland will we be under pressure from its rUK customers and the media to come home in the event of Scotland becoming a foreign country. It'll be carnage.

Can I ask where did you get the £6 billion figure from? Just curious as I've heard 6,7,8,9,10 and on and on and on. Who knows the real truth?...

It'll be carnage, catastrophic, Armageddon, doomsday. Yawn......you know business will carry on in Scotland, someone wants to leave then someone else will fill their shoes. Ah but, but, but....No! Where there is money & profit to be made there is someone more than willing to grasp that opportunity.

Tell us something new we've not heard a million times before.

I'm starting to wonder how any country can manage without the broad shoulders of the uk!
