Re: Black Friday
When Scotland was voting to leave the figures didn't look good for the UK without them. In terms of generating national income, Scotland is very profitable.

Re: Black Friday
In 2014, the largest exporting industry is manufacture of food products and beverages (£4.8 billion, 17.3% of all exports). The second largest industry is Legal, accounting, management, architecture, engineering, technical testing and analysis activities (£2.3 billion, 8.5% of all exports), followed by the manufacture of refined petroleum and chemical products (£2.1 billion, 7.8% of all exports ), Mining and Quarrying (£1.9 billion, 6.9% of all exports) and Wholesale and retail trade (£1.8 billion, 6.5% of all exports).
The figures tend to suggest that they're not as reliant on that sector as you think they are

Re: Black Friday
The pound is plummeting against everything. Biggest fall is against the yen where it's lost 10%. Glad I bought my new bike whilst I could afford it.

If you're accusing us of dodgy expenses claims, not doing a full day of work at the office and looking to take as much time off as possible......
