as an added topic could we have one for in my case scottish abers ? i believe the majority of abers are english, i know of other sites where this is an option (not just scottish )i have a few reasons to put to you re my suggestion. at the moment in scotland there is an importand perjury trial going on, i would like to hear from other scottish abers who are interested. ..............scottish law is different from english law. scotland has its own parliament................ in no way would this be an exclusive site, on a more trivial note imo the scottish humour does not travel well on the net, where we may think our replies are amusing, not everyone "gets the joke " thanks.
mike -just to answer your last post as a point of interest -there would be a difference in a perjury trial as Scottish Law has a Not Proven verdict as well as Guilty and Not Guilty.(I dont agree with it as its a cop but but it exists and is used fairly often)
I see AnswerBank as a ‘community’ where we all supposedly come together in debate sharing ideas, opinions, offering a kind word, helping each other in whichever way we can with a bit of advice, and having friendly banter on a daily basis. Although sometimes there are those who light-heartedly take the Fosters on another - this too can sometimes be funny (it all depends on the person’s mood).
In my opinion I don’t think this is a good idea – it will be ‘silently’ segregating the Scottish people.
We're all the same nationality - British. What's the nationality on your passport anneasquith? It doesn't say you are Scottish! We're all Brits together so don't start trying to make out Scotland's different. Besides the Scottish parliament was just a political sop from Tony Blair. The UK is part of the European Union and 80% of our laws are made in Europe. Scotland is just as much a part of the EU as any other part of Britain. Unless you think differently of course.......?
Yes Dris, but that would apply to any Scottish trial for any offence. My point was that there is probably no difference beween English and Scottish law regarding the elements necessary to bring an accusation of perjury.

Hi Anne, Posting in News and encouraging those who wish to keep up with the various comments to susbscribe to the question might be one way of producing the desired effect. But otherwise: No, there will be no devolution of AB.
For a second there Vibra I thought you were making a really quite good contribution. But then I realised that was surely a load of audit.
