I go on about the EEA 'cause, within the constraints of Brexit, it's the only way to save the UK's service-based economy from ruination. It's not an ideal option. It is the best available answer to the mess caused by Brexit.
Zerne, if your callsign's now foxtrot oscar, not much more to be said on this. I will note that transition to an independent currency can be rapid -- Poland moved from state socialism to a convertible złoty in a matter of months -- and certainly something that Scotland could accomplish in the two year or so transitional period to independence.
