What ever country you live in the price of gas is going up and up. What a crock.

One energy supplier here, Npower, recently put theires up over 20%

Yet announced huge profit increases on the other hand

Gas and electricity have both gone up around 60% in the last 12months or so

Coal is up by around 60% as well. And the £ is down against the €, so making my proposed Scandinavian loghouse more expensive.

It's about time there was a Welsh £ and a Scottish £.

That would sort the nationalists out!

We had Welsh bank notes at one time, for example, the Black Ox Bank.

One currency for the whole of the UK is fine by me.

It would nice to see a Welsh note, the Scot's have theirs, the Irish did have one, mind you anything the language, it would be dying out

I didn't mean just banknotes, I meant a separate currency like the Irish used to have Irish pounds.

The Irish £ was worth significantly less than a UK £. I suspect that if the Scots were to have their own pounds, they too would be worth less than the UK £ because their social expenditure is so high. I reckon the english are propping up the scots who would otherwise have accelerating inflation like Zimbabwee.

Used to be very handy as well - bring back the irish coinage and use in our vending machines

(I also used to do a great job of converting 10p's into 50p's with sticky tape -they never showed THAT on Blue Peter
