This 'news' story do they really think I'm stupid enough to believe it was a mistake that the email was sent to the wrong person.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32856698

Why can't they just say the that the BOE is working on a strategy in case we decide to leave the EU

of course they are working on a strategy to leave the EU just like the rest of the other country's that are also members. only problem is that the public trust will be spear headed by the Gov with lies and decete so they win over the public when the time comes. i wonder if EU companies will say that they are going to leave the UK if we win the vote.

I guess that we'd keep the ones we wanted and send the others back home

but i thought that we were 'better together'

just goes to show that westminster will dump anything that they cant control or gain revenue from.

i hope the EU kick us out or bully us into joining fully and with the Euro.

so what happens to all the handouts that we have had via the EU are we going to pay it all back or are we not responsible for it

I love the way we are led to believe we need to worry because the BoE are looking at options.
Personally I'd be more worried if they didn't.

There's nothing really news worthy here, just a civil servant having an auto-complete failure.

There will be teams of economists in all of the European capitals busily trying to quantify the effect of various options including Grexit, GBexit, and probably some more unexpected ones too. The big multi-nationals will be doing much the same to understand how the Euro options will affect them. That's all just business as usual. The only mildly interesting bit is why the BoE felt the need to describe this group's work in such bland terms. After all, it's not exactly top secret stuff when the government has publicly promised a referendum.

What I'd really like to know is whether De La Rue are busy at the moment. That would be far more concrete than all the prevarication and obfuscation we're getting from Brussels about the situation in Greece.

I doubt it was an auto complete failure Keith, but a deliberate leak, as they working it secret without anyone in the BoE knowing about it.

But why not just say BoE is working on various options in a proper press release than leak it in this fashion.

Like you say it wasn't newsworthy, but that's what happens on Saturday.

Perhaps they thought leaking it on a Friday afternoon they thought no one would make much of it.

People who go as slow as they possibly can approaching a roundabout, just waiting for someone to get in their way. It's clear now, just fupping go!

Traffic

Aberdeen in general. What a hole
