Because there are a lot of loonies like me in Scotland ,,, baying for the blood of any Englishman and total FREEDOM there was a recent short debate on what we might call an "Independent Scottish Currency" ,,,,,,,,
ok, you've got the scene ,,,,,,,, here he goes then. ( one of my favourite writers, Tom Shields )
" One suggestion was the Mickle, with 1314 mickles making one Muckle !
" One suggestion was the Mickle, with 1314 mickles making one Muckle !
The muckle would float or sink with the Irish punt but certainly not be associated in any way with the English pound.
There was also strong support for a National name for the currency.
As the French do with their Franc ,,,, ours could be the Jock !
A jock would consist of 100 we’ans, and 10 jocks would be a Tamson, made up of 1000 of his we’ans " ,,, and so on ?
The man's a little off the planet at times, but very witty with it ,,,,,
And never a mention of TIME !!
