Not true on both counts. The Bank of England has not said 'no chance', only politicians have done that. It isn't the Bank of England's decision, after all. Mark Carney did say that he believed some sovereign powers would have to be relinquished if Scotland were to join a currency union, something the SNP, of course, denied would have to be the case. This Guardian article nicely sums that debate up (and is a useful reference as the article originally falsely claimed the Mark Carney claimed a currency union would be 'unworkable', but was edited later): Clicky click.
As for the Euro: there is nobody seriously saying Scotland 'would have to apply' to join the Euro. The Euro is not currently on the table at all.

I'm interested to read why you think that.

The first half is extraordinarily offensive. The second half, though, I do agree with, it will likely be a no vote.
