Scotland Vote Sparks Market Fears
Sterling and markets fall on fears of a 'Yes' vote in Scotland's Independence Referendum, and one of Britain's more successful novelists explains How to Speak Money.
We look at the latest fears for Sterling and the FTSE surrounding the possibility of Scottish independence. One weekend opinion poll gives the YES campaign a narrow lead ten days ahead of a referendum on whether Scotland should leave the UK. Also, we hear from one of Britain's more successful novelists on how to 'Speak Money' - John Lanchester joins us in the studio. And from Germany, we hear how people are feeling after recent figures suggest that Europe's financial powerhouse could be approaching a recession. What does this mean for the old economic certainties in Berlin?
And finally in the programme "I'm sorry to say this, but you're fired" - Lucy Kellaway meditates on when hearing the word 'sorry' simply adds insult to injury.
